Thinking about it, Tim. Sent it to a buddy of mine who needs it worse than me. He's trying to customize a 36 Trojan, already has two nice Cummins that would drop right in that 35 Bert.

Timmy, GIVE????? Are you outta your mind? Would you GIVE the tubb away? And it don't even run! Would like to have a 35, but I'm still not through playing with the 31. Played with it so much today, think I'll sit in the hot tubb with a strong drink, maybe take one of the pills the doctor gave me for back pain.

Genset problems

Fellow stewards. Awhile back, just after praising my little Norpro genset with the ferryman engine to someone on this site, I happend to step through a rotten hatch I didn't know I had going into the cabin. My foot went through into some various wiring. About that time, the generator would no longer crank. No fire. Because the weather has been so crappy, checked the inside the cabin stuff first - all the wires to the switch panel, wires from the genset to the battery, voltage on all the 8 or so contacts on the back of the ignition switch. Determined that I had juice to the switch, no juice going to the solenoid. Today it was pretty and in the seventies, so I pulled the heavy ass port engine box out, peeled all the Soundown off the genset, and found the yellow wire from the ignition switch to the solenoid pulled loose, undoubtedly by my offending foot.

Nothin' too it. Needed to pull the engine box and check everything, anyway. While it was out, started thinking again about doing away with the engine boxes and making a brigde deck instead, but that will probably have to wait until next winter, changing from single lever, dual function controls to Morse Twin S dual lever, single function units and redoing the helm area, moving the steering helm, stuff like that right now.
