The sink rim is raised 1/2 inch so you it might be better to rout out the area of the sink so the top you are making fits over and around the sink and will sit flat on the counter top. Alternatively, you could attach a wood cleat to the underside of the cover that will fit into the sink and...

Hi. FYI. I just Made this sink cover to better use this space for entertaining. First I created A template by covering the area with overlapping rows of painters tape and marking it with a sharpie. Transferred to MDF and cut it out. Put rubber feet on bottom to clear the sink rim.

All good now. It was a catch 22 problem. The electric fuel valve to generator only open when generator is running. My generator wouldn’t run because there was air in fuel line after I changed the water fuel separator. In my boat, fuel solenoid is located on top of the bilge bulkhead. I...

I'd appreciate some advice on my problem. My Kohler 5E generator will not start due to a fuel flow issue. My boat is a 2004 Sundancer 340. During my troubleshooting, I am unable to draw gasoline from the fuel line leading from the gas tank to before the water separating fuel filter when I...

I’m having same surging issue. Just rebuilt my carb and will reinstall asap. Anyone know how to set idle speed on the 5e? Do I set idle speed loaded or unloaded? I ordered A tach from Amazon that wraps a wire around spark plug wire so I know Rpm’s. When and how do I adjust Governor to...

I was having similar problems with linear actuator on my 2004 340 Sundancer windshield vent. I was able to take the actuator apart and with a little gentle force remove the threaded extender assembly from its housing. Inside i found a lot of old grease build up and some corrosion on the limit...

This is all great info and I'm learning quickly. Any ideas about what is causing my kohler 5e 55 Hz problem? Thx. D

Send me a photo of your boat from side and back and I’ll tell you if it’s the same as mine. Darrylwerner@cox.net

House batteries are at 13.24 volts after a few days charging on shore power. I measured 120 v and 56 hz at outlet while on genny. It’s 60 hz on shore power. Appreciate more shared expertise.

I have A black canvas cockpit cover for my 04 Sundance 340. If it will fit your boat we can make a deal. Thanks

I appreciate all of this great info. The problem I need to solve now is why I can Fully charge on shore power but not on generator. Does anyone know how to test the output of my kohler with a voltmeter and which components are responsible for voltage output?

Thanks!

AC converter is on when generator is on but dc voltage tops out at 12 on volt gauge after running generator a couple hours. Dc voltage reaches 13 charging on shore power.
