I do, too..... and I wouldn't dare own or operate a boat without

I can only assume a few things:

One, you don't own a boat large enough to be kept in dry or wet
storage. If you did, you'd be required by the marina to carry
insurance...or

Second, you have no assets and no real concern of liability.... can't
squeeze blood from a turnip....or

Third, you are so fabulously wealthy that not even an accident and
subsequent fuel spill wouldn't faze you....or

Fourth, most likely, you are infallible and inviolably lucky.....



If I have the right guy... he owns a 27' mustard yellow Coronado
sailboat c/w mauve interior that he keeps moored back in a swampy
backwater in Florida.
He has no fears because no one would bother to sue him for that boat
or his postman's pension.



Nice job improving the group, dummy!

No, WAFA gave him strict orders. He has no mind of his own so he will
follow them.

Quit your crying and join the group... no excuses...

Unlike you, I was part of the 'new initiative' right from the get go.
You are still acting disruptive. Time for a reality check!
I can't believe you actually typed that and hit "send" with a clear
conscious.

I guess Wayne will have to explain this one.... but, in seems like a
heavy reliance on banking 12V DC Amps to be inverted into 120V or 240V
AC Amps at an incredible "ratio" disadvantage....

There are times when we have to run the generator for things like air
conditioning, cooking, hot water, etc. My goal is to minimize or
totally eliminate the need for running the generator when we are under
way, mainly for the fridge and freezers but also for small stuff like
computers and battery rechargers.

Generators are expensive to run, about $4/hour in amortiztion costs
alone ($20K with installation, approx 5,000 hour useful life). Adding
in fuel and maintenance probably pushes the cost to something like
$8/hour. When we are under way the big Detroits are already spinning
so why not take a little more power out of them. Alternators are a
lot cheaper and easier to replace than generators.

The real concern is that diesels shake the crap out of everything.
Lots of vibration, which puts an unbelievable amount of stress and
load on mounts such as yours. Also, the mounting ear on the alt is
pretty thin.
For instance, on Indy cars, the vibration load on mountings such as
these have been calculated at over 125 Gs.
The upper mounting arm on that alt should be 1/2" thick, and bolted
flush to the ear, however you articulate it to accomplich this.

Nice. but the upper mount pivot bolt shimmed with all those washers
will fatigue and break soon.

I understand your point and concern.

The bolt is 1/2 inch grade 8 steel which is pretty sturdy stuff. The
washers have been bonded together to create a rigid spacer. I'm
going to get a slightly longer bolt and put a washer and lock nut on
the fan side of the adjustment arm.

Any other suggestions?

And while at anchor, they produce noise and exhaust.

Actually Donnie is correct in this situation. 40% of the drivers in San
Jose, CA have no auto insurance. And they do not need it. The law says
they must have it to drive a car, but when you have less than $500 in the
bank and no assets, what are they going to do. My change to the law is
people like Wilbur with no insurance and they get run in to get nothing from
the other person except direct medical costs. No pain and suffering, no
property damage, no lost of income. They get nothing but direct medical
costs. Wilbur runs into someone else, they get nothing as Wilbur has
nothing. Fair play regards damages.

Gene, I'd be happy to send you some drawings if you'd like to cut some

Send me a drawing and I'll see if I have the stock...

Gene, drawing's should be on their way.
