    Westerbeke 8.0 diesel gen

    My gen will run great for 7-8 hours and then begin to fall off. After it sits for awhile it will run great again for the same amount of time. Fuel filters are fresh, getting plenty of water and not overheating.... Does this sound like a lift pump issue?? Please help!

    Inaccessible bilge area - trapped water

    We had a similar problem, hauled the boat from Florida and could not figure out why the rear axle was overweight. We had alot of water under the aft cabin!!! The bigger problem for you is how it got there in the first place. In our case, I learned that during an AC replacement the inbound...
