I don't believe he has a walk-though transom. But "air conditioned racing"...what's not to like?!!! :clap

The Generator would (normally) only be running when at Anchor or Mooring.

I would consider building a 'box' inside the aft locker as has been mentioned earlier in this thread.
But for the time being (until I retire and run out of other boat & home projects) the Genny will just sit aft of the wheel on top of the locker/helmseat.

I'll tie it down with some webbing straps and put a rain shield over it.

I'm ready to install a smart plug and socket on the boat/shore power cable (thanks Ken) and I'll probably make up a short cord from the Genny to the shore power receptacle (port side) rather than have 50' of cable sitting between the genny and power receptacle.

Really, Stu! 5 pages! Still not sure what solved "the mystery". LOL!  Bad battery charger?

Noah,

It was "buried" in the quantity of text:

Reply #44:  (by me (Stu)) --- I also believe that you may now have concluded that the CO alarm, which started this whole thread, can be attributed to the batteries being charged (or overcharged) by the Flyback nonsense.

1.  the propane monitor and carbon monoxide monitors aboard Hali were being triggered by hydrogen boiled off the new house batteries during charging by the old Flyback 20-3 battery charger.  We could not make any other theory fit all the known facts.

7.    following advice from here and other threads, we junked the Alltech Flyback 20-3 battery charger...and are glad of it.

Thx Stu!  A good smart charger is the way to go, Paul.  I like my ProMariner ProNautic 1240P with remote panel. The exact same charger is also sold under the Sterling brand.

Paul, that is the very one that is included in the "Electrical Systems 101" topic, "How to wire a charger," by Maine Sail.  It is a superb charger.

Thanks for noting that, Jon, and Ken for the link.  I updated the Electrical Systems 101 topic.  FYI, sbo recently updated their software, which may have broken some links.  If you find any more broken links, please let me know.  Many of the topics on Maine Sail's website were also publsihed on sbo.  I found the sbo more "readable" visually.

I tried several sailboatowners links on the Electrical 101 site. None seemd to connect to the source data.  Jon W.

Stu,

It looks like SBO completely revamped the paths to the posts.  I searched for a couple subjects that are on "electrical 101," and at the bottom is what SBO did -- the URL:

On the top is the link on 101.
Below it is the current URL.   

We can't even substitute some of the text in the original link to form a new URL.  Crap, I bet any and all SBO links you have on C34 are now pretty much useless.  Darnit.
Not only on C34, but also any of the "old style" links that are in the SBO posts are also dead.  Yah'd think that when SBO did this, it would have provided a pathway for an old link to find its way to the new URLs?

Thanks, Ken & Jon, for picking up on that.

I'll write to Phil and post a note on the 101 about this.

Not so fast Ken you dummy. 
There is a way.....  relatively simple substitution.
Do you have the ability to globally find/replace?

This is the old "101" URL:
http://forums.catalina.sailboatowners.com/showthread.php?t=102027

This is the new URL:
http://forums.sailboatowners.com/index.php?threads/engine-starting-video-real-world-amp-load-data.102027/

And, this URL will redirect you to the new URL
http://forums.sailboatowners.com/index.php?threads/102027

HOWEVER, using the "Catalina" URL will not redirect:
http://forums.catalina.sailboatowners.com/index.php?threads/102027

So, to edit the old URL,
http://forums.catalina.sailboatowners.com/showthread.php?t=102027

[bold strike thru] delete; [bold blue] add.
(note I inserted spaces to make it all more readable.)
