    My shore power cable winch trouble

    It’s like what ever is in the winch pulling my shore power cable in has no grip. I tried cleaning the cable, but still doesn’t seem to be able to grab the cable to retract it. Anyone else have this issue?

    WOW police counting people on boats today in Ft. Lauderdale

    Creekwood, but statistically, not a single one of those people in your diagram would have died. the hospitals are being overrun because of the media hysteria. i'm hearing the hospitals trying to get the word out that if you get sick, you don't have to just rush to the hospital. but your comments...

    WOW police counting people on boats today in Ft. Lauderdale

    look at the death stats for this. this isn't a correct response. we don't shut the world down for a cold, and most who get this have mild symptoms. and by most, i mean almost every single one.

    WOW police counting people on boats today in Ft. Lauderdale

    if you look up who has died from this, you will quickly figure out there is something else going on. it only killed really old people. there has been 1 young person die from this in the US. ONE! but we cancelled every prom, graduation, and senior year over this. that is an irrational response...

    WOW police counting people on boats today in Ft. Lauderdale

    15K have died world wide, i think like 500 here in the US? but we are willing to let govt shut us down over that? shaking my head, and have been for a week. the scary part of this 'crisis' is watching how easily the masses are led by their leaders. i actually read a comment on Facebook on a FTL...

    complete generator failure, less than 1000 hrs

    MM is even sending a captain to transport my boat so i don't have to fly down to get boat into the yard. Very ready to get the boat back working so I can enjoy the rest of the hot season.

    complete generator failure, less than 1000 hrs

    Thanks for the concern over possible kidnapping, and glad to report that I'm safe. I didn't want to name them earlier, but the dealership is Marinemax Miami. I'm also glad to say that in the end, I was able to have a very candid discussion with the GM and he is a reasonable guy who wants to...

    complete generator failure, less than 1000 hrs

    I've been waiting now for 2 days for someone to contact me from the dealership. I've left 2 messages for the GM, crickets.

    complete generator failure, less than 1000 hrs

    I've had 2 separate techs out at my boat working on a solution from Sunpower Diesel (one of the biggest shops in SoFL and certified Cummins mechanics). The boat has to be hauled out, one pod removed, part of the engine, etc. Both techs told me flat out that this was not a new problem and both...

    complete generator failure, less than 1000 hrs

    ttmott, that depends on the level of service you are getting. I drive a Ford pickup, and I expect basic service. My wife drives a Maserati, and I expect a whole lot more when I take her car in. Her last car dealer would take women to a spa while cars were getting serviced. When I bought this...

    complete generator failure, less than 1000 hrs

    To rebut not being a dealer issue, the Sunpower tech told me that with this amount of rust, this was not a new problem and 3 months before was easily there. as Frank mentioned, I paid an absolute premium for service from the dealer for only one reason. i paid that because i did not want issues...

    complete generator failure, less than 1000 hrs

    once again, Frank, you are exactly on point. the Cummins repairman at Sunpower said that exact same thing. He said that obviously whoever did the service didn't even start it after service was done. Everyone high up the chain at the dealership is on a big trip to Bimini right now. I've left...

    and as things go from worse to worse, they might have to pull an engine to get the generator out.
