    Electrical question for full time liveaboard

    Hi Catalina Jack, My intent was certainly to uplift and inspire. I can see that went the wrong way. I’m safe enough within my friends and don’t particularly need to reach out. Although my creator has instructed me to. In either case, I will resign my membership to this website as soon as I post...

    Electrical question for full time liveaboard

    I briefly read through the updates on this subject. Someone may have mentioned the biggest reason to use AGM and I did not see it. If so, okay, it’s worth mentioning again. AGM’s do not explode. Think that as not substantial, then have a battery blow up in your face. Some notes, amps x volts...

    Electrical question for full time liveaboard

    We do a pretty fair amount of that work. You couldn’t give me an 8 D these days. The weight of them is not worth the risk of getting hurt while handling them around boat type spaces. Golf cart batteries belong in golf carts. Please take a look at AGM types. Two group 31’s or thereabouts, in...

    Generator auto shutdown issue

    Foxtrotcharlie, Yours might be the model EKOD. They had some revisions on the oil sensors. Given the year of your set, it was probably within the first two years 2000 hour warranty policy. Might have paid to check on that. They also did some software updates but as I recall, that was on larger...

    Generator auto shutdown issue

    Hi Art You must have the 7.5 R. It uses the Kohler built L654 engine. Magneto ignition. Your machine will have oil pressure shut down and high coolant temp shutdown. It would not be hard to install an exhaust temperature shut down. Magnetos are grounded to case to cease ignition. That said, just...

    Generator auto shutdown issue

    the water flow sensor is to act in case the seawater flow stops. there are times when the exhaust pipe temperature sensor will not catch the temperature in time to stop the engine before damage occurs. exhaust hose will melt close to the exhaust elbow. the best benefit of this sensor is it...

    Generator auto shutdown issue

    Guys, I saw mention of adc 2100 and et al. EOZ is a relay controlled machine EOZD is digital and uses the red LED equipped controller with the rocker button that goes left, center and right. One position is auto. In marine that’s for remote start. The latest controller is ADCII In the case of...

    Generator auto shutdown issue

    The generators use engine shut downs because they are unattended engines while operating. Propulsion is monitored by the helmsman. Gotta be careful about coolant level. Most liquid cooled residential and commercial machines have a low coolant level sensor. Again, on an inhibit. Without low...

    Generator auto shutdown issue

    Pay note to how soon the generator stops when you release the start button. An immediate shut down is no a.c. Voltage output, or output and the microprocessor is not seeing that it is making power. The engine fail safe stops, high exhaust temp, low oil pressure, high coolant temp are on inhibits...

    Re-Powering GB32 (1966)

    Been spending a quiet Sunday afternoon. wish i had not even looked at this. I'm sure you are right about the 5000 guys (and gals). Agreement or non does not change the science or facts of the matter. Our industry has made tremendous strides in the last decade or so. I have no intent of...

    Re-Powering GB32 (1966)

    some ideas Its important to size an engine so that it stays around 75 % rated as much as possible. not doing so will glaze the cylinder walls and not allow the exhaust gas temps to come up enough to burn off moisture. the result will be wet stacking just like on low loaded generators. if you...
