But for the life of me I can't think of the name of it. It ran off the main engine to give you 120v power while you were underway. It may have been a high output DC alternator coupled with an inverter to give you sable power at varying RPMs. Or you may have had to run at a consistant RPM. I just can't recall the details. Are you thinking of the Yanmar flywheel generator?? It's driven by the main engine. In fact, it bolts onto the back of the engine between the bellhousing and the gearbox, thus becomng part of the drive train. Here's a link to some info, see if this rings a bell::http://www.boatingoz.com.au/default....ID=News%2F1303... Rick . No I wasn't. But that is very interesting, thanks. |
