12.5kw Genset
So I recently purchased my current boat knowing I would have some work to do on the genset. I pulled the raw water pump out and the heat exchanger and found more trouble then what was originally thought. That never happens right?
So here are a few pics on my new mounting rails made out of 2 x 4 1/8 wall aluminum. I bought the 2x4's in 36" lengths and cut them down to 25" and drilled all of the needed holes and such. Added new mounts and blocks then painted.
I am still cleaning up the rest of the genset and painting as I go, I should be complete this weekend. I also had to replace the ring gear and starter. Also boiling out the exchanger as well as full rebuild on the raw water pump, which created this mess. I will post the cleaned up job when I am done. I start this project the week of Thanksgiving. I thought I was going to complete it by the following weekend. It's taken a little longer than anticipated ...
