    Westerbeke Generator Won't start

    I’ll check it. Pretty sure my gen isn’t connected to the co detector in the cabin since the gen was new installed after the original threw a rod. Worth a check and look.

    Westerbeke Generator Won't start

    I have a 2008 Amberjack 290, with Westerbeke 5.0 MCG-614 WHT GAS GENSET. Had the generator put in brand new in 2014. Currently, I can't get it to start. The engine will start to crank when I press start. The engine turns over a few times and then stops, check engine light shows. I can shoot...

    water filling up mid birth bilge

    2008 Amberjack 290. I keep my boat in a lift out of the water. There is a bilge compartment under the mid birth where the shower/sink sump pump is located. Within the bilge is also my water tank. I keep virtually no water in the water tank when my boat is in the lift. I have noticed that...
