New Phasor Generator - Westerbeke for Sale!

Here are pictures (still from the Android since Nikon returned our camera UNTOUHED!  NOT FIXED!!).  Firstly, the Westerbeke came out.  It only had 311 hours on it and the bearing was shot.  When Wade pulled it out of the hole, he realized it could have been repaired, contrary to what the service man told us. ..and then he billed us for $191.00!  We had already bought the new one.  So here are the pictures of the old one coming out.








And then the new Phasor going in.  The fork lift guy was, thankfully, extemely talented to get it through the space in the bimini where Wade had removed a solar panel. Wade had everything planned out perfectly, with every detail.








Specs for the Phasor:  
8.5 kw
3 cylinder
1800 rpm
460 lbs
500 lbs with the sound enclosure



We almost got away unscathed.  It was pretty windy and the wind wouldn't let us off the dock.  The dock master told us to gun it and we ripped off the barbeque and scratched the fibreglass below the starboard toe rail.  We should have stopped and got a bow line out to the portside dock or got a tow.  Anyway, we gunned it and barely missed a boat and the cement dock wall.  Of course, Wade has already fixed his BBQ!  Captain Amazing!!!!!!!
