Generator bubble

Summer 2011

Bill fabricated a generator "bubble."  Using the space where the anchor would normally sit, he used a new hatch cover for the base of the bubble.  The bubble is made of fiber glass.  It took a couple of tries to get the final bubble.

                                          

This shows the open hatch.  Bill used a 3/4" fuel line as an exhaust pipe that will extend into the water by about 6".  

You can see that Bill made some vents in the bubble, but it turns out there is not enough room for the heat to escape with the bubble closed, so when we run the generator we keep the bubble top open.
The generator plugs into the shore power connector.
