Here is a video of each generator running. The phone automatically adjusts the volume.. but you can still pick the winner!

Re: Winter Project Begins
Making slow progress. Tech started at the panel, wiring back to the genny. We took out a curved panel on the landing that covered the wiring Chase. Made access easy. Where most have a galley, I have a stateroom. No provision was made for a TV... so while I'm here! New 8k self contained AC installed in the bow. Stalled waiting on remote start panel from Kohler..but gittin there!

Re: Winter Project Begins
Still waiting for the Kohler/Cruisair tech to finish up. He's taking this quarantine seriously..for good reason in his case. I've been piddling and replacing the cabin reading lamps with something that puts out more general lighting. Theses are LED, by Imtra.. bulb says to 30v, but I've used several now and have had no issues.

Re: Winter Project Begins
Houston we have power! The new genny is up and running! Still have to get and install the remote station. One option is $350.. simple start/stop and hours. The other option is $1,300.. 9 inch color monitor with graphic displays.. Not sure if I want to get more into this project, but I like bells and whistles.. display on the genny is nice, but you have to go below to see it!

PS, loaded it to 14kw yesterday. That was all 7 ac's, oven, hot water heater, battery charger and all lights.. no microwave, cooktop, or washer dryer., but it's more than sufficient for what I wanted.

Re: Winter Project Begins
The problem with letting the Chinese make your stuff!.. No, this isn't a $200 Racor 500FG. This a $36 dollar knockoff using Racor Chinese parts! Hey Racor.. you designed it, then helped the Chinese setup manufacturing for you, then import the thing into Racor's retail channels....but then the bad news..
