Just got this generator, and for half the price of a honda 3300 and 3000. It does the job just as good, or even better. But just a little tip, for a brand new unit, do a oil change after 30min to a hour. Lots of glitter for the first break in period.

Great video! I just bought an 87' Catalina 22 and I'm about to put her this weekend. Advice to you. PLEASE, when you are working on a boat and sailing . . . exchange your wedding band for a silicon one. I almost ripped my finger off a few years ago on a sailboat when my ring got caught on a cleat.

I bought the Onan it's the best one out their it's quiet and works Great !

From the great words of Monty Python: Get on with it!

We bought two of the first versions. Ran them almost 24/7 for two years straight for an off grid camper. One generator had a tick over 14,000 hours, and the other over 9,000 hours. Both still start and run (however one is hard to start 14,000 hour one). Needless to say we were very impressed. When we built an off grid cabin we bought one about 6 months ago, and the new one has around 2,500 hours. Run Mobil 1 full synthetic 10W-30 HiMi and change the oil around every 500 hours (or when oil shut off happens). I use E3 22 spark plugs and change every 2,000 hours. Never messed with the air filter except rinse it out. Had to take one apart after 6,000ish hours due to a rubbed wire. Other than that no major issues. They are a tank of a little machine! Surprised that a single cylinder with a dipper oil system and no oil filter can last that long.

Is it better than the Predator 5000.

Quite frankly, that Porta Potti is way too complicated and much work, and I sure wouldn't want to clean it. My Rhodes 22 has a marine toilet with a holding tank, but I never use it as such. I just put Wag bags inside the toilet and dispose of them after use. No mess, no cleaning, no smell, and much cheaper. There are numerous foldable or collapsable camp toilets on Amazon that take up much less space than the Porta Potti when not in use.

C-22 owner here, The turnbuckle T-bolts get bent usually when raising the mast if the shroud turnbuckles aren't facing the stern. They jam as the mast is coming up or going down. Another thing I can suggest is to put an old water bottle lid on your deck plug for the mast lights when your boat is in storage. Otherwise water can get inside and corrode the wiring. Not such an easy fix tracing wires and such.

Does the battery/master switch need to be on for the trickle charger?

just piss over the side? dump the rest in the ocean

How has it held up? Just purchased the same generator. Still in the box 😂

👍

Ahoy Apple & Rob! I'm Thankful you made a video about setting up your mast. I've been contemplating getting a Catalina 22. Your video showing the bent hardware for securing the mast, as well as the size of the bolt going into the base of the mast, & a glimpse of the gauge of the mast, gave me pause for concern. I understand this is a small sailboat, but even small jaunts up & down the Pacific, from bay-to-bay, seem like trips, that could potentially become beyond the little boat's capabilities. My search for the right boat, should probably be expanded to more stoutly built models. I need to try & keep the boat/trailer combo's weight down, but I need to stay mindful of a boat's fragility-factor too. Seeing your video was possibly *HUGE* in my tiny little life. Thanks again folks. 🙏🦉 🌊⛵🌊🌅

Thanks for showing the process of getting your *Mast* up! I'm glad 🍏 Apple 🍎 was there to help you with *IT* Rob! Hopefully this will be something that can be accomplished as a solo sailor. 🙏🦉

this is exactly like Westinghouse ?

This is such a nice river boat ride to see the best of Fort Lauderdale from the water. The captain/narrator is very entertaining and informative. So many huge yachts and super tall condominiums on the Fort Lauderdale New River. The folks on the boat are so lively and often wave with enthusiasm. Cool boat life here in Fort Lauderdale. Thanks again Captains!

Where did you guys go?

This is not a ship tour. He talks too much.

Where do you get it fixed????

Thank you for sharing this. This is awesome

how do you adjust the ignition timing for starting, what setting advance, retard, what? i had to start a knuckle before for my friend because he could not do it but i guess i got lucky cause i got it going a few times but this was a long time ago like 1977.

where can i get one? out of my price range probably.

Looking at a Westinghouse , looks identical ?

Don't forget to mention if you do actually have to pick it up it's not that bad the whole generator weighs under a hundred pounds

Just wondering how this generator has performed since purchas.

That bracket costs more than my outboard.

Could you tell me where you got the mast crutch and how you mounted it?

Daaamn! Check out those jiggly wobblers! 🔥🔥

😃👍👏👏👏

That just happened to me this last time I went out in my Capri 18. The Left Handed T bolt that is the part of the turnbuckle that attaches to the starboard chainplate got bent. What happened was that during the stepping process it was not facing forward (it was a little crooked). My partner who was winching it up forced it the last few degrees and the force of the winching bent it. I got a new one from Catalina Direct. Lesson learned: shake out your shrouds before the last little bit of stepping to make sure they are straight.

That looks really good. Well awesome! Thanks guys!

Ich bewundere das was sie machen . Kautzi aus beeskow.😅

What, were they protesting back then?

Lots of work, but we’ll worth it!

Strip the hull and convert it to an outboard powered launch.

Diesels don’t have carburetors. FYI.

Where is the Cummins generator manufactured? Cummins generators are made in the United States and in other countries where Cummins has manufacturing plants, including Brazil, China, Colombia, India, and Mexico, among other countries. CHINA

Engines made in CHINA

All the Cummins portables are just the standard Chinese white label machines. You can get this same generator in 20 different flavors.

Great video thanks - I have same engine and same boat. What model motor mount is this? Any clearance issues with tilting motor forward once in up position?

What application did/do you have on your phone that told you your point of sail? It seems pretty cool and useful for a newbie like me.

I've watched a bunch of your videos as I just purchased my Catalina 22 and as much as I have learned from you guys there is one other thing that needs to be said: You guys are a model couple! Way to be!

Put some deisil in that cummins.......that was a joke ppl dont do that.

Thank you so much for this video! 😃 One question I have is: how long can recordings get, and would the camera start a new recording automatically after automatically ending a recording at the maximum?

Great vid, ive had mine for 8 months and it still blows me away, try picking up a high power ir flashlight, ive got one that goes out to 300 meters and its amazing how well u can see at distance.

@applerob i just bought a catalina 22 can i just use the motor, no sails and if so does the rudder need to be on while using motor

I'm surprised this doesn't run on diesel fuel coming from a Cummins product.

I know this is a really old KZfaq, but, ....... I want to pressure wash the inside and bilge of my Catalina 22, is there no lower drain point like there is on the stern of most power boats? Is there a way to utilize how the scuppers drain to drain the bilge? Thank you!

Had to stop watching 1/3 of the way in. Too much waste for me
