PDQ OWNERS FORUM

a few years back i had lengthy discussions about this with dick vermullen (maine cat) when he was designing the prototype powercat. his plan was just as described, a constantly running generator powering 2 electric motors. after a couple of years of changes he gave up and went with diesels. he found...

hi,

i believe the temp sensor is located in the wall control, at least it is on the marine air unit i'm looking at. if cruise-air is different, not sure where it is.

no not gold, ss. i can only comment on my experience and try to help.....your results may vary

isotemp makes rectangular ones as well as small barrels.

before you order, i would measure the ss tubing diameter just to be sure.

in response to nick's problems, we had trouble this winter. as russ points out in his webpage there are many things to help performance but in our case the root cause of our problem was a corroded connector on the dc power coming in. sprayed with corrosion block and things returned to normal. this f...

could it be a breaker going bad (i.e. tripping at too low a setting)?

hi nick, welcome aboard. we have only run the generator once when running and that was for heat. we ran at hull speed or about 7 knots. if your real question is can i run at 13 knots with the generator running the answer is it's all about cooling. the main engines have clam shells covers with slots ...

i have to confess i don't know the answer to this after all these years: do the flybridge levers pull out for neutral?
