Why did you feel that was necessary Harry?





Why don't you address those sorts of questions to your buddies here,
like FlaJim or Herring, et cetera?


Why don't you quit whining. Seems like you are mad at the world
since the old bag got put in her place.

It goes back farther than that. Harree never really got over GWB's
defeat of Algore.

Harree Putz, how do u do...

If you think I'm right wing you've never met the real thing.

FYI, you once expressed an interest in the longevity and operating
costs of diesel generators on larger boats. We installed our 20KW
Kohler in the fall of 2004, shortly after we bought the boat. So it's
now 13 years old and has about 5800 hours of operating time. That's
roughly comparable to a car with 300,000 miles on it. The generator
has not been maintenance free, but has never required a
tear-down/re-build, mostly little things like sensors and hoses, but
also an exhaust elbow, a couple of new starter motors, and several
raw water pumps. Bottom line is that it's still going strong, starts
right up in a split second, does not smoke, and uses almost no oil -
about as well as you could expect for a hard working piece of
machinery of that age. On average it burns about 1/2 gallon per hour.
I'd estimate maintenance costs at about $1 per hour, maybe a little
less.

It has served us very well in the past week with our hurricane related
power failures, powering the entire house when needed, including the
central air conditioning, electric hot water and electric stove.

Now you did it. Harry's now going to tell us that his propane fueled
Generac that runs for 10 minutes every Saturday is *much* *MUCH* superior.

You have what I am guessing is a heavy duty generator designed to run
continuously. Ours is not, at least not for long periods of time, though
I don't know what the duty cycle is. The one time so far when I've had
to have it running for days, I kept the load light, meaning I only ran
the heat pump air conditioning a few hours a day. Everything
else...lights, refrigerators, well pump, microwaves, et cetera, add up
to a pretty light load. Interestingly, its output is 17KW, not much less
than the one on your boat. It's air-cooled and sounds like a
gasoline-fueled lawnmower when running.

My generator is designed to fill in for power outages that range from a
few hours to a few days or a week or so. I'd have to look it up, but I
think the Generac burns about two gallons of propane gas per hour at
near full-load, but don't quote me on that.
