Generator Usage
#1
Hi

We just got a 3900 Sovran and haven’t been given comprehensive instructions on operating all systems. I have questions on generator usage.

Can you run the generator while underway? 
Does the generator charge the batteries? 
Does Running the engines and generators overcharge the batteries?
What is the startup sequence (gen first or engines first)?

If you use both while underway, could you please list your steps launching the boat from the slip with shore power on?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Jay
