I am doing a solo trip to the Bahamas in March, but based on the Fisher Panda generator issues I have had and the need for “hook” generation of electricity to at least charge my batteries I have concerns. I have an outboard boat (Pursuit 365I) and a FP mini 8 diesel generator that has not started or has broken down twice in 3 months for at least 4weeks down time. I run it every week under load and until the cyl temps are high enough and still there are problems. The weekend before it wouldn’t start, I ran it 7 hours. Therefore I am thinking about a backup system, solar or a little Honda gas generator. I would not run the Honda at night due to exhaust. I know nothing about solar on a boat.
If I like this cruising life a N or a KK will be in my life, currently just me and a 8 lb dog, so what would the group recommend? I like the beam and asymmetrical aspects of the KK 44/48. The 39 could work as well. The N don’t seem to be quite as roomy. I am concerned about the lack of get home power in the KK. I can imagine going as far as the ABC’s, but no further. At least I will have a boat designed and thought out for the mission and they don’t seem to use FP.
Thank you
