Believe me I've looked at this 20 ways to Sunday. There are a lot of limitations (especially if you have a 2x 30A shore power setup). If you have a 50A 120/240, you have a lot of options. Hence the reason I'm planning to install a 50A shore power service. Unfortunately cant put the Victron...

I'm assuming you currently have dual 30A shore power? The easiest way to accomplish what your wanting to do is use a empty breaker slot on you AC panel to feed the inverter charger, then segregate of the 3-4 circuits you want to power. The unit needs to have an automatic transfer switch with...

Given a completely dead and a less that fresh other bank, no. My understanding of the emergency start system is intended to get you going after your at the sandbar and run one bank to 50%. However, I was advised to never start unless you have shore power/generator powering the charger. Once...

--SOLD-- ICOM M400BB VHF in excellent condition. Includes the black box VHF, a Command Mic, and a mic 15’ extension. Has MMSI programmed, may need to be reprogrammed if that’s important to you. $200 OBO Shipped (US only)

Edit... Not sure if your heard the emergency start solenoid click or the engine solenoid. You'll have to clarify. Even if your emergency start system is working, you are basically combining a 100% bank and a 0%, that combined, really just a larger mostly dead battery. I regularly see 100+A...

Retention screws are M5 x 0.8 x 8mm. Shortest I could find locally is 10mm allen head in SS, so I'll add a spring washer and hope they don't bottom out

Thanks!! Tom suggested a hammer type impact wrench, but I didn't have the vertical clearance overhead to do that with the generator in the boat (I'm assuming he pulled his, or at least the pump). They really were not that hard to remove using the edge of a chisel, and they just need to be...

I think once o'rings are back in , I'm going to flush some diesel up through the injector line before I reconnect to the injectors. I'm hoping the lift pump will be able to do that, but may need to turn the gen over and let fuel run into a can. I'm most worried about the injector orifice...

This is an L3E. Its cast into the block along with .0952l I've got the right manual and part #'s. Turns out the disty had the wrong parts in the bin. Correct orings on the way (hopefully).

I did. Haven't heard back

I’m going to get some “official” versions first. I unfortunately don’t know the durometer or metric/SAE, so I’d be guessing. I only want to have to do this once. I might break out the Parker design book and take a look once I have some in hand. Sure would be nice to be able to get some from...

Hard brittle and taken a set. I’d like to spec a more readily available o-ring.

#@$#* Wrong part. Man I can't win today. Grrr... Original looks to be basic Viton or similar.

Now ya tell me!! I used a chisel on the edge to break em loose. Immediate problem solved. Cursing continues. The biggest problem is that Westerbeke paint. Chips off in very small little flakes. Using vacuum and covering things best I can. Hope im not making things worse.

Nothing is easy on this damn thing...Not my year for stripping out bolts either. @#$*
