My generator now has approx. 1900 hours on it and it has been very reliable. Towards the end of last boating season I noticed it began to hunt and I put off diagnosing it until this Spring. Well, I haven't had much luck finding the culprit. I am usually good about exercising the motors during...

Has anyone had the privilege of changing out the crankcase cover gasket on their gen? I have an oil leak and think it may be the culprit. I had the oil seal behind the fly wheel replaced last year as it was leaking and now this.

Need help with issues I’m having in the engine room. I’ve been on here several times regarding some problems I’m having with either my transmissions or shaft seals/bearings. Since I’ve owned the boat I am getting a sporadic alarm (more of a faint beep) when I shift the transmissions either from...

Just purchased a MW1 remote and ext. cord. Unfortunately the 25' ext. cord is not long enough, can I buy another ext. cord and plug the two into eachother?

Westerbeke gen runs fine but is not producing any power/voltage. Any tips on where to start troubleshooting?

Well i made the move and installed the CMD7, it was a plug and play but i wasnt able to run the aux cord or the usb cord to the helm as i planned. I originally was going to secure the cords to the existing remote wire and pull it through but no luck, it wouldnt budge. So i wil have to look into...

I am wanting to upgrade my XMD1 unit, is the CMD 6 and/or CMD7 unit compatible as far as wiring harness and remote?? Thanks

Started my gen today and she fired right up and after bout five mins she started to surge then shut down. It will fire back up but then surge and shut down. Anyone have any suggestion s where I should start? It shut down with load and i checked the fuses and they are good. Sorry, it's a Kohler...

I have a 7.3 (03) Kohler Gen with approx 1000 hours. Have never had an issue and recently replaced plugs, oil and filter. Ran fine two weeks ago and went out today to excercise it and it would not stay running after I let go of the start button.I was by myself and w/out tool box so I couldn't...

Got a buddy with a 1996 5.0L carb and is trying to drain the motor preparing for winter. He has only found two plugs (actually he said they were brass and not blue plastic plugs). Is this correct, only two or are there more. I would think it has at least four; two on the manifolds and two on the...

So, I changed the spark plugs on the starboard motor this evening and all went well excpet when I started up the motors. None of my helm gauges operate now; I have a 03 3870 Cruisers with 8.1's; is it possible I wiggled some wires loose while I was down around the motor. It has the smartcraft...

Noticed today while we were out that when I put my port drive in nuetral either from forward or reverse there is a soft fading alarm coming from the transmission. The alarm is only a second or two long and fades out. Only does it when taking out of gear and not into gear. Checked the fluid and...

I have twin 8.1's and am needing to change the spark plugs. The manual calls for Denso's but they are hard to locate and was curious to what others are running, thanks

My AC volt meter does not work; is there a fuse/breaker that would fix this issue or do i need to find a replacement gauge, thanks.

I have a Kohler 7.3E gen set with approx 600 hours on it. I recently purchased the boat and the boat has been sitting up for awhile. Sometime this week I will be giving the gen a tune up; oil/filter change, water/fuel seperator and spark plugs. The gen runs smooth until I put a heavy load on...

I am in the process of selling my 280DA...hope to finalize the deal this Sat...just before Memorial Weekend, couldn't be worse timing. We have absolutely loved our 280 but want/need bigger and are moving up to the slip life. We have been looking at several 370's as well as Cruisers 3870...
