Hope he is well and doing well. Without Fretwell, there's little in here

Harree Putz, how do u do...

If you think I'm right wing you've never met the real thing.

FYI, you once expressed an interest in the longevity and operating
costs of diesel generators on larger boats. We installed our 20KW
Kohler in the fall of 2004, shortly after we bought the boat. So it's
now 13 years old and has about 5800 hours of operating time. That's
roughly comparable to a car with 300,000 miles on it. The generator
has not been maintenance free, but has never required a
tear-down/re-build, mostly little things like sensors and hoses, but
also an exhaust elbow, a couple of new starter motors, and several
raw water pumps. Bottom line is that it's still going strong, starts
right up in a split second, does not smoke, and uses almost no oil -
about as well as you could expect for a hard working piece of
machinery of that age. On average it burns about 1/2 gallon per hour.
I'd estimate maintenance costs at about $1 per hour, maybe a little
less.

It has served us very well in the past week with our hurricane related
power failures, powering the entire house when needed, including the
central air conditioning, electric hot water and electric stove.
