Fixed the dead short from pinched power supply to the genny blower motor, and replaced the broken pot metal belt pulley. Cant figure out how that happened as belt alignment was right on.
Last week replaced lead acid 8D batteries, ( all four ) 2 house 2 engine with agms. Used a local battery company instead of Orileys. I regret that decision. Made it very clear that I needed post type batteries, and got button terminal batteries. Battery shop is "making it right". 7 days in waiting for that to happen . Waiting for brass adapters to arrive. If he drops me in the grease, I will have to have a local boat shop make 8 new battery cables. Good thing we are stationary for 21 more days, Replaced converter with a new one just for the heck of it.
Now I am back on the genny again. I will attach photos that show worn shaft bearings. Looks like they self align on the shaft. Have any Gurus replaced these? My only limitation ( aside from being inept ) is I do not have a welder available to me.
