On a completely different note...here's a rather lengthy but well written and interesting piece on a sailors struggles with his Fischer/Panda DC genset which slams FP pretty well (and is NOT out of synch with other stories I've heard)....but the story is more valuable to anyone considering a DC generator...and with new electric engines and hi-speed battery charging in the years ahead...perhaps there are some good lessons here for buying any brand genset.
