generator

Good evening Club SeaRayers... I have a 340 DA and the generator won't fully start. I have run it at least once ever two weeks but yesterday, got nothing. I hold the Preheat for a couple of seconds then then the start run button. It turns over but won't stay on - any ideas??? The light at...

Have new motor. Paid 3500 for short block and had heads redone with new manifolds. Also have the 4k generator in great shape. Have the rest of the boat also and it is a 1988 23' SeaRay. I was going to redo everything (though boat was working) and health issues changed the plan. A deal I trust at...

Recently my generator started giving me LB (Low Battery Voltage) warnings whenever my battery power was turned on, even though my betteries were putting out plenty of power (12-12.7V nominal). Then, it actually started flashing LB and HB warnings back and forth. This weekend, when I got in the...

New here, from what i have seen it looks like a great group. Currently have a 96 300 with v-drives, havent had a single issue and it has been perfect, just looking to get into something newer. MY QUESTIONS: Twin merc 350 I/O's - Not too familiar with the I/O's, I do know they are great for...

I just bought this 2004 Sea Ray 260 and the generator wouldn't start so I pulled the spark plugs and did a compression test. One cylinder had 0 compression and the other had 210 psi. The spark plug with zero compression looked like it had water on it and the spark was sparking to the side...

Someone please help me! Over the weekend I was using my Quicksilver 6.5kw Generator (QS-6.5G) to run the A/C and stuff. Ran fine for 5-6 hours, and then in the middle of the night (3am) the circuit breaker popped out, killing the power and generator. In the morning I pushed the circuit breaker...

Hey everyone, I am picking up my new (new to me) 2002 320 SD tonight and I have a 3 item punch list of things that I should attend to sooner than later as found in the survey. None of the items are critical which is nice. One item on the list is battery terminal covers for the Westerbeke...

Have any of you guys had to have your valves adjusted on you Kohler 5ecd? Last year my generator stopped working and my mechanic determined that one of the cylinders wasn't getting compression so he adjusted the valve and she started right up and ran great until last weekend. Now I am having...

I purchased a 1988 340 Sea Ray Express Cruiser, when I bought and tested it, it was running great and still is. However, after they did the transport to the lake. A few things are not working. I was wandering if they disconnected or turned off. 1. I have very little water pressure in head and...

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has had this experience. My kohler 5E runs fine but occasionally starts to surge slowly, then faster, then bogg down, then stall. Havent isolated the issue yet, but I have checked the temp (around 200 degrees on the block), 90 degrees-ish as it dumps back into...

I have a vernalift 2 inch in and 2 inch out wet muffler for gasoline engines. The installation sheet from Centek is below: http://www.centekindustries.com/pdfs/Vernalift%20Install%20Guidelines%20%28Jan09%29%20PDF.pdf There is nothing wrong with the muffler, I just changed to a different style...

Here in the Sacramento delta, and probably other parts of USA, have an invasive plant called 'egeria' that grows in water less than 12' deep. It is a long narrow flimsy plant that can get sucked into raw water intakes. I can't tell you how many times I've had to shut down my gen to get the...

i am ready to buy a sundancer 280, but I am on the fence as to whether or not I need a generator. I will be boating in SW florida mostly doing day trips or at most weekenders, will be purchasing an A/C. Will most likely be at slips if on weekenders. Why should I purchase a generator?

I have a 2008 310 Sundancer with the built-in electric grill. Wondering if anyone else is having the following issue... On shore power the grill works just fine. However, when operating it off the generator, the grill will run for several minutes before tripping at the outlet where the grill...

There are a lot of threads I found on this generator and varying issues with shutdown. In reading those, I think I have an airlock issue. And if so, I haven't yet been able to purge all of the air from the system... My Kohler 5E ran fine all last fall. For spring maintenance, I replaced oil...

Love this forum--thank you to all the boat techies that take the time to write down their solutions... Now that we've had our new to us Sea Ray 340 for a couple of months, it was time to start the monthly maintenance drill. Our 2006 Sea Ray has a wonderful set of Yanmar diesels to push her...

I have my Quicksilver 5kw generator from my Baja boat out for repairs. The repairs are complete and ready to reinstall however, when the battery is disconnected from the generator while running the generator dies. Is this normal? With a Vehicle, when the battery is disconnected, It continues...
