Hello all,
I have a Kohler 5ECD Low CO generator on board and am just wondering if any of you other 290 owners have run the generator while under way.
I can't find any limitation to this in the owners manual for either the vessel or the gene. Just thought I would check with others as there may be some risks associated with opening the gene sea cock at speed. I cruise at about 18-20 knots in most conditions, which is both comfortable and pretty efficient with twin 250 Yammies.
For overnighters at the moment we run to our selected anchorage, set the pick and then flash up the gene for hot water and cooking. This works OK and I dont have any problems with it. But it would be handy to have the water hot and the aircon doing its job by the time we drop the pick. Particularly if we get to the anchorage a little later than planned.
Any takers???
