Hello, my name is Eric Taylor. I'm on Lake Norman also. My 290 has a generator and I have been following some of your posts in the Sea Ray 290 threads... and noticed you had some generator work done with your boat. Did you use a local service mechanic for the work or did you do the work yourself? I can't get this Kohler started and would love to have it worked on during the slower boating season if possible! LOL
