For some reason, I can't edit my previous post -- some kind of glitch with ezboard, I guess. Here are the correct links to the photos.

I have hull # 310 2 cabain and I want to do exactly what you have done.

thanks,

The generator is seamlessly wired into the electrical system (it is in the port side lazarette)- it acts just like shorepower. There is a selector switch. I also had a lot of work done at CSR Marine at DesMoines WA (Commissioning, radar and a new intigrated VHF) - there is also a CSR at Lake Union. I was quite happy with their work.

We have a 42 centerline and all the energy eating options. The Panda 4.5kw diesel generator was the choice that we made to supply all the electrical needs for C'est la Vie. So far the Panda has supplied more electricity than we need - at one time this past fall we had both heat pumps runnning, radar, autopilot and the stereo on at the same time and the batteries were on charge also (the engine was running... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (peterw) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/2906 Fri, 05 May 2006 14:59:35 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/2905/t/Diesel-Generators.html#reply-2905
I looked at quite a few compact diesel generators and settled on the Mastervolt 3.5 Whisper series. I think that Garry is putting a piece on the installation in Mainsheet this coming issue.

It has not been used much since installation but I'm sailing from Tampa Bay to Maine in a couple of weeks and I'll report back. But so far I am impressed with the low noise level.

I have read lots of interesting postings about Honda portable gas generators, but I'm interested in comments about permanently installed diesel generators.

My wife and I cruise in Puget Sound and inland BC waters for 2 months each year. We like to stay on anchor, sometimes for as long as 5 days in one spot. I'd like to install a diesel... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (afterglow) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/topic/1027 Fri, 05 May 2006 11:39:50 GMT
