<<However, I challenge you "northerners" to come down here in August, steam all day, drop anchor and try to get to sleep in a puddle of your own sweat. I run the heck out of my generator with both A/Cs going full tilt under those kind of conditions.>> Dear Rich, Have at it, but kindly anchor a respectable distance from me. I don't want A/C,mainly due to the noise, and in fact took out three Marine-air units and a Northern Lights 8kw genset from the boat during rebuilding. ===== Mark Richter, M.E., aboard M/V Winnie the Pooh custom Morgan 46 Troller.
