Yanmar YDG37 3.7KW Diesel Generator

I am selling a Yanmar 3.7KW portable generator.

Re: One phase from three phase

How about this, get a 3-phase spotlight and shine it on your solar panels,
then no worries. ;)

Re: You really want to win this one....

Interestingly, they removed the engine to reduce weight, yet still had 3 people on board.

Re: What Is The Big Deal About Single Handling?

Seriously? not going to sea is compared to going to sea alone vs having crew?
You really gotta stretch to find a way to disagree.

And btw, I have no problem with solo sailors.

Re: Electric dink motor?

If you have the skill to build your own dink, then you might consider making you own electric outboard. The trolling ones are not very powerful, which might be ok. The more powerful ones are rather...

Re: What Is The Big Deal About Single Handling?

What I've said, sailing solo is taking more risk than those with crew.
Voluntarily taking more risk == Less seamanship.
Has nothing to do with how much skill, friends, or lovers you have.

Re: What Is The Big Deal About Single Handling?

This is what I disagree about...
Racing and winning is the apex of sailing and single handing is not how you win.
If you are cruising, arriving safely is the 'apex' and that is advanced by having...

Re: Am I Going To Die - Farr 44

If you are single-handing, then yes, you will likely drown in the ocean. ;)

You must have also offended Rustic Charm...

Is it good judgement to purposely put yourself in this situation?

Like sailing into a storm because you are so good, you can handle it.
Or is it...

Re: What Is The Big Deal About Single Handling?

You only brag about doing dangerous and foolish things that most people wouldn't do. Daysailing alone isn't one of them.

Re: What Is The Big Deal About Single Handling?

Being alone out on the ocean is simply very dangerous and in fact, I'd say indicates poor judgement and seamanship. If you have no other choice, well, we all have choices.

Re: Some yachts are plain ugly and some beautiful, why and does it matter?

Nope can't imagine doing that, because there would never be any reason to do that. It isn't a boat that has laundry hanging from flagpoles! :)

Re: Series Or Parallel solar panel?

I thought I explain it very simply in the electric-boat-forum posts...

If you put panels in parallel, they must have the same voltage, that is an electrical fact. Panels all have blocking diodes,...

Re: Calling engineers to build something!

A boat is not an advertisment.
A billboard along the highway is an advertisment. A car on the highway is not.
Get it?
If you don't like to see boats, I'd suggest not going near any water.

Re: Better way of charging batteries?

Large capacitors are very expensive, like 10x more than batteries.
Instead, you would just get faster charging Lithium batteries for less cost.
