Fischer Panda Owner's Forum Shutting Down
 
I am happy to announce that I have reached a mutually agreeable settlement
with Fischer Panda regarding issues that I have had with my 4.2 kW
generator. Per the terms of the agreement I am required to shut down the
Fischer Panda Owner's Forum located at www.FischerPandaSucks.com. I will
do this on December 28, 2003.

I would like to thank all of the participants of the group. There have
been about 2000 visitors to the site and 86 posts in 29 topics. Quite a
bit of good information was posted, and I would like to suggest to Fischer
Panda that they consider creating their own forum.

I'm about to head off to the South Pacific to begin a circumnavigation, but
I can still be reached by e-mail.

Here's wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season and a Great New Year!

So your blackmail worked. Congratulations for
making future purchases by those who had nothing
to do with it much more expensive through litigation
and harassment. All because you were too inept to
properly maintain your genset.

Vendor or Mfg's web forums are self-serving.. Just try to pose a question or
comment that might make their product look as bad as it is and see how it is
treated.. (The Cap'n forum is a good example of that.)..

Thanks for the constructive comments. I always enjoy watching people
sling mud when it's apparent that they know nothing of what they're
talking about. Somehow or another I am able to maintain all of the
other systems on my boat without any problems. It was just this one.

I will also admit that perhaps the cost of the generators will go up as
Fischer Panda has hired a person to perform customer relations. Sarah's
job is to work with customers to make sure that this type of situation
doesn't occur in the future. I'm sorry if my efforts have made it
better for future customers.

Can you forward the site to me to host? Don't you think other
unsuspecting consumers (suckers) who buy a Fisher Panda should get the
benefit of your research? What is the formula to get Fisher Panda to
roll over? If they would just post it on their website or make it option
"7" on their automated service phone line, everyone would get the royal
treatment like you.

Congrats and happy sailing.

That generator is built by Communist slave labor.

No one in their right mind would buy one.

Why did you?

Blackmail may get your money back, but you are still dim witted for buying
one in the first place. Your website zealotry was merely an attempt
(failure) by you to overcompensate for your obvious inadequacies. A real man
would have taken the loss and thrown that nightmare overboard.

There's very little in the PRC that isn't "built" by a horribly
exploited workforce. Pennies an hour if they're lucky, in most cases. If
I see a product I want and it says Made in China, I simply don't buy it.

I hope you are, Karen. The most important little guy in our life came

Tomorrow the neices will be here for dinner with all of their kids,

I got a Tollycraft fleece, so I'm happy.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

A great day so far but I've eaten too much!!! oops & I lost the

Wow that would be nice too, to actually need a jumper it's hot here.

Don't.

Buy a Kohler. 5 year, 2000 hour recreational warranty, INCLUDING REMOVE
AND REPLACE LABOR.

You can't beat that ANYWHERE.

I've owned one for 2+ years now, and have over 600 hours on it. It has been
a 100% trouble-free piece of equipment. I'd buy another in a heartbeat,
and recommend the unit to everyone I come across who needs one.


This note has such a ring of confidence about it.... reminds me that I
bought an econobox with a 5 year 100,000 mile drive train warranty.
And would you believe it, I had no mentionable problems in ten years.

Manufacturers who offer impressive sounding warranties usually have a
distinct hunch it ain't gonna cost them the ranch. That's my
experience anyway.

Bahamas!! well done; have a great time, we're only here for a short

I have a FP 12kW genset and out of interest read of Geoffs experience.
I have to say that from the evidence on the www from both FP and GS,
the installation does sound rather suspect and that water was being
drawn back into the engine. I have a couple of observations. FP
units are used by most Formula 1 racing teams in their motor homes and
many outside TV broadcasting vehicles. If they were not inherently
reliable, I am sure that another manufacturer would be used.
If you are going to have an engine, or genset in a boat why not follow
the KISS principle and use keel cooling and mirror how your car engine
is cooled by the environment in which it operates. No raw salt water
circuit at all - and put a water trap into the exhaust line so that
any water in the line does not get back to the engine.
I think he did too well - but I guess that is the sue anything/anyone
climate in the USA - rather than remotely accept any personal
responsibility in life.
