Default Heart of Gold and the Genset

What would you expect from someone who doesn't even put a
PFD on a toddler?

So now you have to carry gasoline aboard and find

somewhere to stow the can.
A totally unnecessary extra fire hazard.

Looks like we'll be getting a genset afterall. A Cruiser

32, which was
storm damaged has been bought by my yard after settling

with the
insurance. Tiny little Kholer (Sp?) 4K genset will be a

gift from the
yard along with an installation. She's all prewired for

it and the
platform is ready and waiting. I have mixed feelings

about it. It
weighs more than a box of feathers and we have yet to

establish that
it's something we really need at anchor. In the slip,

hanging out or
working, the a/c is a no brainer luxury. Still, I had to

say yes or no
and I imagine this can only bring up the value of the

boat with no cost
to me. According to the guy who's putting it in along

with a hush box,
we'll barely hear it and no one anchored nearby will. I

think he's
right since I can barely hear the genset of the Cruiser

34 that's not
far from us. It's amazingly small and quiet.
So...good news for our Heart of Gold!

None of this matters, Joe. I just came back from my yard. It's a Onan E
series diesel genset. I really feel it's too big and heavy, so I'm
looking at possibly selling it off on ebay to pay for something more
suited for my boat. It weighs over 350 lbs and that's without the power
vented cover and fuel assembly.
I wonder what the smallest genset is that could start and run my
A/C...?
