These are the settings I'm using initially. Bear in mind I've only ran the engine on high idle and haven't gotten it on the road yet. So I may make some adjustments later. These settings were suggested by "Maine Sail" who is on www.cruisersforum.com

""Balmar 614 settings as per Maine Sail:

Gel Program
Belt Manager = 4 (this current limits the 160A alt to 120-130A)

Then into advanced settings:

dLc/Start Delay = 45 Seconds
AHL/ High Voltage Regulator Limit = 14.4V
CL/Temp Compensation Limit = 14.3V
bv/Bulk Voltage = 13.9V
b1c/Bulk Time = 1 Hour
Av/Absorption Voltage = 13.8V
A1c/Absorption Time = 2 Hours
Fv/Float Voltage = 13.2V (this essentially turns the reg off)
F1C/Float Time = 12 Hours
AL1/Alt Temp Compensation = 220F
BL1/Batt Temp Threshold = NO BATTERY TEMP COMPENSATION

I also have a dash mounted switch for killing the alt reg when the bank reaches 13.8V / 5A current. We discharge to 80% DOD then recharge...

Please note that an HVC relay for the regulator should cut the B+ / Red wire to the reg NOT the field wire. My dash switch also cuts regulator B+... ""
