Don, I bought my two KISS wind generators in Dec 2003.
I stopped by the SVHOTWIRE booth yesterday. John was busy with a customer so I tried to tell Libby about the repair. She was defensive and in denial. She told me that this sort of thing just never happened and I was the first one to tell her of the problem. I sent a copy of my report to John. Perhaps he may have a different attitude. KISS wind generators are a mixed bag of good and not so good. If I were in the market for new units I would look closely at the rest of the market, especially the AIR MARINE I was on Philip Lang's boat a few months ago and he had a AIR MARINE operating. It was whistley when idling but when it perked up it was surprisingly quiet. The early ones were noisy, but I think they worked out that problem. The have to be better built than the KISS which is fairly primitive. There were several new designs at the boat show too but I didn't investigate them.
