Re: Starter Breaker

have you asked the yard that did the engine install? i would think they might be able to give you a good idea. if you can find the solenoid try following the wires away from the solenoid. one should lead you to the relay. i think.

Re: Catch 22

hi, we have/had victron, magnum, and xantrex. all allow you to adjust the maximum rate of charge which in turn will increase the load on genset. with that said i'm not sure the charger alone will provide the load you're looking for. when we run genset in addition to battery charging, we run water he...

Re: Engine Exhaust

the other thing that is sometimes necessary, always on our boat, is to pull out dipstick (break vacuum?), clean, re-insert, re-check.

Re: Engine Exhaust

based on your observation, i'd say it' not normal. you say that it seems both engines are behaving the same way. that complicates things because there is no oil connection between the 2 engines. you don't mention what the oil consumption was before the service. imho that's a lot of oil consumption. ...

i assume you have a) solar b) topped off batteries c) inverter ==> hot water .....not enough capacity? we have a 750w heater that'll make "hot enough" water in 25 minutes.
