Thanks for posting this informative video. I'm currently going over my generator and found this helpful. BTW I'm fortunate that my exhaust elbow is made of stainless steel
You own my favourite catamaran of all that are out there the Leopards 48 . Thank you for you vids sharing experiences and maintenance done. How often are the parts no longer available and a substitute is needed and how often are substitutes not so easy to find ?.kind regards Louis
Parts manual is very detailed. Leopard has good service person in Florida that can help with sourcing. Occasionally the parts are no longer manufactured and we do end up having to find something else. No different than many boats out there.
Probably gained half a knot with all the wind resistance on a huge solar bracket after removing the gen😂. I believe a gen is always a good redundancy option even if you got everything else to supply the wattage needs on a boat
Did you ever have issues with your raw water impeller housing? We replaced ours the first time because it had a slow drip... Now its leaking bad again after a year. We have a kit to replace the gasket. Hopefully it will last longer than a year... lol
Generator has 2 fuel filters. One is standard racor located near fuel tank. Second is a screw on filter on engine itself which looks like an oil filter but it is in fact a fuel filter

No we don’t. Curious where leak is coming from
@@SailingPILAR it’s from a round seal inside the housing that just leaks. Pain lol 😂
@@MVSKOOKUM1 maybe need a different size!
Did you use an oil filter on the fuel line? I had to rewind the vid and slow it down to make sure of what i saw ..

More sufficient maybe . But efficient😂😂😂
