Generator
sits on the stringers that are part of the water tank. The
generator bed was made with holes then marked on the stringers. Click on an image to see a larger image. Click the back button to return to this page. |
| Once marked the holes were cut and the foam was removed. |  |
 |
The hole is about three inches deep and six inches long. (extends two inches under on both sides of the hole) |
| Used
polyester resin to fill the hole. The resin was poured in
small
lifts so it would not get to hot while setting. To get the
bolts
to line up I put them in the bed and let them hang in the resin and
set, then filled the resin the rest of the way up. Bolts are
1/2
x 4 inch. Note: I did get a little cracking in the resin as it set but not enough to warrant removing it. I should have used epoxy as suggested and the cracking may not have occurred. |

 |
Gen Set bed complete with mounting holes for the generator pan. |
| To help with the vibration the holes for the bolts in the bed were enlarged to fit a piece of hose. |  |
 |
Neoprene strips were laid under the bed to help with the vibration also. These strips were under the fuel tanks that were removed. |
| Generator all set. It is a 9kw Cummins-Onan. It is bolted down with 3/8 bolts with fender washers on the bottom side. Note: I could not reach the bolt holes on the back side so I had to duct tape the bolt into a box wrench and slip it under the bed and push it up through the hole. |  |
