For those that have replaced their oh-no generator, did you remove and install through the ER entryway or pull salon floor? Looks like a new phasor is on the horizon
 
On my prior boat (55C) the previous owner had replaced the original generator with an M&L. I spoke to the guy that installed it and he said they did through ER door by taking the head off of the new one. I didn't ask how they got the old one out but I am sure it was in pieces.
 
We replaced generator on our 55C thru engine room cockpit door.
 
Thank you gentleman. Anyone have a link to a video(s) of said project? I have my own vision of how I see it playing out, curious to see others. It looks like I'm going to have to wrestle up some muscle and oversee the project. BEATs Therapy hasn't been on the fishing grounds in 8 months due to port 12-71 MOH that was completed a month ago. During MOH I was working on the Onan; electric fuel pump, upgrading leaking secondary fuel filter, new fuel lines, water pump rebuild, silicone coolant hoses just to find the S2 low coolant sensor is faulty and OBSOLETE. The Admiral is the bookeeper and says "replace the damn thing so we can go fishing". We are going to add another 12v battery bank, being we installed a dual bank Victron w/Lifeline AGM last year, we can eliminate the phasor 24v upgrade, 32v/24v convertor, draw off the port main bank and add some 12v redundancy, new wiring, and a dedicated bank for the gen.

Any input on different install strategy would be welcomed. I will do my best to cover the project as best I can, I've always been really bad about "middle of" project pics and videos.
