1976 Hatteras 58LRC - Generator Replacement

[JD5652]

Well... miracles do happen. Just got the word yesterday that my 20 kW Northern Lights generator finally made its way to the local distributor in Charleston, SC. Ordered in September... so only took 9 months.

Now I have to start planning the install. My salon has carpeting and I can't see the starboard side hatch for access to the engine room.

Would anyone happen to have any photos of a 58LRC that shows location of engine room hatch from either the salon or engine room?

I will also have to take down the ceiling in the engine room as I have perforated ceiling tiles in that location.

Thanks in advance!

JD, I could send you some photos looking up from the engine room and take some measurments for you this weekend. Let me know if that would help.

JD,

Tough to get a good angle to photo the hatches from down below, but here are a few which may help. I also hand drew a diagram for you. The PO installed lighting (which is nice) on that hatches and did a beautiful Brazilian walnut floor in the Saloon. The new flooring does not have openings up top, so if I ever need to pull large stuff out, I will have to cut the floor.

Feel free to call me if you need assistance or more measurements.

I'll PM you my contact info.

Jim
