I have a 2006 SD 260, I've owned her for 7 years. I have a genset on-board which I've used a total of 2 times other than running it weekly to ensure she's exercised. It locked up on me last weekend while starting, I haven't had a chance to verify if it's terminal or merely a locked starter/flywheel... either way it's given me pause as to thinking of replacing it with an alternative extended power source. I know removal will drop resale value but that's not a woory for me. I realize that means no AC when off the hook, which is fine with us. Given all the things happening in the van conversion world these days, with reference to extended bonndocking, has anyone seen a similar system [lithium battery-powered, converter, solar/engine charging] that could be used on my 260 in place of the generator. Regardless if my genset is cooked or not, I'm still considering removal so I'll certainly have the space and weight requirements if there is an alternative. Thanks all for your thoughts /comments. Safe boating, all!
