I have a 2006 3200 Open, I love it and it is a terrific boat in many ways.
I purchased it in 2014 with only 270 hours of use and the Westerbeke (gasoline), generator had only 50 hours total time on it.
My problem is, the generator starts but won't continue to run unless I hold the "run" switch in the energized position.
I have had three different mechanics work on it. Filters changed, new carburetor, new fuel line supply hose and check valve and so on.
I am a hands on person and always follow wiring diagrams and troublshooting charts however, access to this little bugger is near impossible.
Impeller, oil filter, belts and over temp switches are all on the aft side and even after removing the main engine exhaust ducts I still have to work by feel.
Access aside does anyone have any insight as to why this thing won't stay running, (again, I've gone through the trouble shooting steps in the manual.)
Calling Westerbeke was of no help as they refereed me to my nearest marina mechanic.
Hope someone can offer advice.
