Nate, where are you located?
Vancouver BC Canada
Right, what marina? I’m at Mosquito Creek in North Van.
Couple of things:Also my westebeke generator is not starting i think I will battery my way through the summer and pull it for servicing in the winter, unless anyone has any tips for that?
What is an engine water light? what are you looking at? The systems monitor? You are probably looking at the bilge pump light. If you have some aftermarket water flow sensor and light, I'd be real interested in seeing that.My engine water light goes on from time to time but I still have water coming out the side, does anyone else get that issue? bad sensor? how serious is that? Shut it down then it goes out.

Looks like we will hear you before we ever see you ;-)
You will never sell that boat in Florida, but the cushions in the cockpit look very cool
Let's troubleshoot your generator before you go to the trouble of disassembling half your Stbd engine to get the genset out.
First thing I would do is energize the system on the remote panel by putting the start switch in the mid position. Then go to the genset, and push the bypass switch first, observing the linkage between the carb and the choke solenoid. If your symptom is cranking without starting, it is usually because the solenoid plunger is binding and not pulling the butterfly shut to choke the engine. If it is binding, push it in by hand and try to start. That's a two handed job. The second symptom is the fuel pump sounds loud while it's priming. That means no fuel is getting through the pump. A variety of reasons, but likely the pump is pooped out. Search around the forum for Westerbeke replacement parts. We started a list on suitable parts without the $$$$ red paint applied.
Welcome to the club. Hard to believe this model is becoming a "classic".

nope. Carp Coastal in Florida is a good bet.Music is a big part of my life. We live in an apartment in the city and I can't play it very loud without the police showing up.. With the 370 I can get away from everyone and be as loud as I want.
Thanks for the info, I'll start there first. Are generator parts impossible to get?
Nate
To the wire in the helm that is energized when you hold the middle switch on. I'd check the solenoid first to make sure it's not shorted, which would be a good reason to disconnect it.My emergency start is disconnected does anyone know where that other wire is supposed to go?

take a wire from one of the side connections with the battery wires on it, and touch that bare terminal to see if it engages. You'll hear a click. if it's shorted, it won't click, and that wire will get hot fast. if nothing happens, it's time to replace the solenoid. I'd run a new wire up to get it going again.
So my emergency start switch is not getting power just tested with multimeter. Probably a bigger issue than just that wire being disconnected.
Could I put power to that terminal briefly to listen for a click?
Nate
actually it sounds like me recommending that you move the battery cable. What i meant was to jumper another wire from a battery side terminal (either one, since they should both be hot) to the relay terminal.
