    Generator on 390 EC: minimum fuel required in tank

    I know I've seen this somewhere on-line, but I can't find it now on any forum... Can some one tell me at what level the generator fuel pickup is on an '85 vintage 390 EC? I have an 8.5 Westerbeke that feeds from the stbd. tank. It wouldn't start two weeks ago and the gauge read barely under...

    Finally took the plunge!

    Hello Everyone, After looking for the last year for just the right Express Cruiser, I have finally taken the plunge and purchased a 1985 390 EC. Her Crusaders were both rebuilt back in '05 and the full cockpit canvas and upholstery were all redone ~ 4 years ago. She came from the factory with...
