*Steve* ... I'll be watching your thread with interest ... my Onan MDJE 7.5 kW genny is situated (more like shoe-horned) Stbd. Fwd. in the engine room ... I bought an endoscope just to be able to check the heat exchanger coolant content / level ... as the access for that is a little round sheet metal cover in the Onan Sound Shield directly above the h.e. cap ... all the way Fwd, roughly centered in the O.S.S. and a couple of inches from the e.r. ceiling ... just getting a hand in there to move the cover and release the cap is a big challenge (for me, anyways, big guy, big hands) ...
My access options are similar to yours ... on the '79 DCS, the dinette was situated Stbd. (mine was all removed in favour of a A-I-O washer/dryer & a trash compactor) and the only way I can see to get at the genny w/o (partially) removing it is to make (an) access hatch(es) in the salon floor above the genny, and/or in the dinette Aft bulkhead into the e.r. ahead of the genny. Presumably Uniflite had no plan other than to remove the genny for anything other than minor servicing ... or some wiry little mechanics to squeeze in there ... your job sounds like the (partial) removal variety ... maybe consider just removing it completely and going with something new(er) and more compact. *FFF* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "UnifliteWorld" group.
