I picked up this digital 3000 watt inverter.
Wondering if anyone can give me any suggestions about how I should use this vs using my generator. With wiring and batteries etc. I only go out and stay on the hook for three days max other then that im on shore power. Im looking into solar panels as...
Can someone explain to me the battery source for starting generator? Both my engines start fine, but my generator doesn't. The volt meter on panel drops big when I starting.
Also, are sound shields available for 2004 ONAN's?
We have a 2006 38 DA that our marina left the batteries attached over the winter (Boston area). In the spring the port side was dead but we emergency started it. The port side still would die quickly and when I tried the gen it wouldn't turn over. Bought new batteries but then found two fuses...
Good morning. I just signed up in hopes of getting some help with my decision to buy or not to buy a 2002 280 Sundancer that is in VERY GOOD condition. She has 600 hours on both 4.3 twins @ 220HP each. I have a sea trial set up for tomorrow and a survey. My wife and I have been weighing the pros...
I purchased a 1999 290 Sundancer with twin 350's. Boat came with generator but past owner removed it. Generator is now sitting on my garage floor. I am going to recondition it and want to put it back in boat. Is there anyway of doing this without removal of one motor? If I took off Manifold...
Hello,
I have a 2002 Westerbeke Gas Genny with around 100 hours. I just purchased boat last season and it had only 60 hours on it. The issue I'm having is the generator runs fine but after about an hour it dies, and wont start back up due to dead battery.
I had battery tested and its...
Hi has anyone tried the 3500 watt habor freight generator it states it can run a 15,000 btu rv ac unit.. this might be a great gen. for no gen boats that have a 30amp plug.
Not bad in price with a 20% coupon.

Hoping to conquer the world on one post, this is my first boat, just launched, trying to figure it out. Couple questions:
1. how to flush the toilet (vacu Flush)? lights are on as your standing in front of it looking just to the left both green, one said discharge, one I think said water. Do I...
I have a Westerbeke 4.5 BCGTC (carb) generator on my boat and I cannot locate the oil dipstick. I searched through the service manual and did not see it..
The Kohler 5ECD on my 2008 310 has been running just above 200 hours but won't work properly since this summer. It was shutting down with LOC code frequently. I checked the water flow and temperature and they were all good. I thought it might be the water pressure sensor issue. I jumpped the...
i believe my impeller needs replacement, gen shuts dowm after a couple min. and is loud and no water coming out of side and strainer clean, not sure how easy it would be , looks like its at the right rear side and you would have to unbolt the whole gen to pull out and replace>??? i have tools...
For those of you who have this problem this maybe of some help.
I have a SeaRay 310 2008 with a Kohler 5ECD model Generator that would not start. I keep getting "UU" codes (under voltage errors) which translate that the genny is running too slow or inconsistently. Ony 3 things stop an engine...
We’ve been generator challenged this season – first with the generator surging and second that it only runs for a few minutes at a time. The surging was fixed with a complete tear down and ultrasonic cleaning from a local marina – varnish in the jets. When reassembled the idle screw that sets...
Looking at the options on a new 2016 330 Sundancer. Two questions:
1. If I purchase the $17,000 generator, is there ANY reason to also get the $1,058 inverter?
2. Can the inverter run the A/C? Would I be giving anything up by getting the inverter INSTEAD of the generator?

I'm 2 weeks into a 2006 340 DA and am running into an issue. We recently went out only to have my high water alarm go off shortly after leaving slip. I pull up to the fuel dock and check and my bilge is filling with water. We determined that the rear bilge pump check valve has jammed shut...
I just noticed a flashing banner ad for Honda Generators in the Announcements & FAQ's section of the forum? Has anyone else noticed this? It appears that the official position regarding portable generators has changed on the ClubSeaRay.com website?
I guess they're OK now since this website is...
