GENERATING INDEPENDENCE – part three

GENERATING INDEPENDENCE – part three

To answer some of the questions asked about the physical placement of our Gen (the Generator), the following pictures may help explain…

Swim Ladder Down

Even without moving Gen we can easily access the swim ladder

…but should we need more space, Gen can easily be removed ‘en masse’.

…and set aside on one of the cockpit seats.

Engine Up

With the engine up the prop still trails in the water but the Gen platform can be trimmed an inch or two which will allow more tilt to the engine.  It was hard to design during the winter months to know exactly how wide to cut it.  It will remain as such for now.
