Tried of this, one problem after another, Just call it scott luck. Saturday 2,27pm my generator decided it had enough and quit. Well into the {as I now call it} HOLE I must go again.
First check the simple things oil, water, change fuel filter still not working. Well three weeks ago we charged the water temperature switch and I have a spare oil pressure switch so I though that might be the problem.
Well as most of you no that when things are made in Japan they become very small it goes for my generator as well. The pressure switch cannot be removed without taking the new oil filter off. several hours new switch installed and you guessed it nothing notta XXXX Dam you no what was said.
Decide to start the main engine to charge the batterys and guess what the engine started for all of 5 seconds and quit. I tried it several more times and it would not start. Sooooooooooooo
Phone call to super Kendall
Sunday morning the Dam fridge getting warm Batterys voltage down to 9.8 v something must have been left on.
Super Kendall arrives at 11am and we go to work. First problem decovered was a fuel line leak behind the main engine. Super kendall starts to work on the Generator and by 2pm we are running again. By-passed the switche's rewired the fuel pump along with other things that I don't understand.
So as of Today I am waiting to see if my batterys are xxxx or not. Will know by tomorrow, the generator does not seem to be putting out the total amperage will know better tomorrow.
SO AS I SAY BOAT FOR SALE
But not quit yet
So You want to be a live aboard
WOW I wasn't expecting this one??????I am lost for words. I have to go and mix a (stiff)drink after reading this.
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will be looking for another boat? As much as you love the water.
Keep me posted on what the next move is.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Scott and Merry Christmas! See you in two weeks! Jan and Ron
ReplyDeleteScott,
ReplyDeleteI'm convinced that there's something in the air down there affecting the electronics...... first Dave H. had problems, then our boat started to fall apart and wouldn't charge the batteries(hehehe) and now it's yours...... all with electrical problems. (Bermuda triangle perhaps??) Well, hope you get things straightened out. See you in a couple weeks.
Ron
Snowing here .... Does that make you feel any better..
ReplyDeletelove and merry xmas
Aunt Ruby
