when the hatch is open on my boat, there is a nice big access into the ERbut not a lot of places to brace anything against *Per I think your engine room is just like mine? *You have a 38' Cali right? *Generator mounted across the stringers, just ahead of the main engines? *The yard lifted mine...

Thats very impressive... You never even fired up the Honda? does the monitor inform how many AHs you used up total?

ok now i got it, you lifted it up just enough to put the crate under it. then re-calibrated your sling and lifted again this time onto the cockpit. thanks

*how did you get it from the ER up onto the cockpit deck? or did they put the boom all the way in where they could lift it out of the ER? when the hatch is open on my boat, there is a nice big access into the ERbut not a lot of places to brace anything against

*I did a generator replacement on my previous boat. I put in a Northern Lights 4.5 kw to replace an old Kohler/Lister-Petter pos. I did a new exhaust hose and added a water lift muffler, and that was basically about it. Just connected the AC wiring to the new set, Ran the panel harness to the...

sooner or later i am replacing my generator and just getting some ideas to what complications may stem from that.. there is the physical part.. getting the old unit out and the new in. i have a decent size ER, where the unit can be dropped down on a roller platform. other than that is there...

we are looking to replace our old Onan generator. prefer something used but it good condition 3-7 kw size. located in so cal. post here, or im.

*shortly after i got my boat, we took friends for a sunset cruise into Huntington Beach. the route into the marina via an inlet or canal passing a weapons depot (just for drama has nothing to do with this story), then under a bridge and here lies the issue; height of the bridge became an issue...

they are not forcing me.. just the $100+ higher cost monthly for a 40' is something i can do without.

good to hear you were able to get out of harms way. they always say you only need a puddle of water to drown in it. my wife drowned as a baby, somehow she feel in a pool but luckily was found right away (on the bottom) but was fished out and survived. She too is not 100% buddies with water or...

you mentioned already the most important factor: KA-BOOM!

performance is very impressive. but why does it drop off at 1750 RPM so much? actually at 1750 the performance is worse than any other power setting, why?

not a bad idea MP! yes it is for measuring LOA for slip assignment, turns out i am 2 ft and a few inches too long for a 35' slip. i am considering to saw off some of my pulpit instead, would need also to redo the stainless rail over the pulpit.

good to know.. long beach often has grey light fog, and its thick too.. but still it seems few are using horns. radar is a nice thing though..

thanks guys for all the good advise.

Considering to (temporary) remove the swimstep for bureaucratic reasons. Any problems removing with boat in water?

just a follow up to this thread.. we towed our 11' RIB recently on the way out we used a 350# floating line as a bridle with the outport in the down position. the line broke at seas, i was able to re-trieve the RIB and re-tie it using two docklines tied together. on the way home, i raised the...

it sounds like the logic is similar when a charge current is present on either bank however the bluesea switch combines both banks as long as the volt on either bank is > 12.75 volt. i actually think this is a good feature and would have preferred it kept the "combining" down to perhaps 12.3...

*FW, are you referring to the bluesea combiner switch? in that case it is not fool proof. this switch isolates one bank if the voltage on either bank drops below 12.75 Volt and if you have been away for a few days or longer it doesnt take much to drop under 12.75 volt and then you "loose" the...

i am curious, the height restriction is only for highway concern right? look forward to hearing that she has made it across and is sitting pretty in a Maui cove.

allright, thanks everyone..

this is what i am talking about, not the large refillable tanks. just for bbq use.. am i required to store this in a special manner? -- Edited by Per on Thursday 11th of August 2011 10:43:08 AM

thats a great deal.. can i get 200 gallons delivered? i am hoping to get some 100gallons at around $3.57 last time i checked.. just called them and they will not give out the rate over the phone wtf?

ok thanks David, and for those of us who dont already have a propane system with approved vented lockers?

wow thats expensive for a single screw.. and fyi, i noticed the genny is started by the main engine batts though it seems every other system has its own battery bank and separate chargers. i like the lines, not as much as my dream boat (the GB Eastbay).
