Great video! I just bought the 2800 for my home backup. Looks like I made the right choice! I love your customization. I lived on my sailboat for 16 years so I appreciate the preventative measures you took. I think only a sailor would take a brand new unit and completely spray paint it and make it water resistant. Nice job! Cheers

Hello Capt, I am a new viewer to your channel. I first want to say thank you for your honest and informative videos. I am a retired engineer and I can say you certainly have an engineering mind. I appreciate how you not only walk us through your upgrades, but you inspire us to think about details before staring a project.Keep up the great work
Hello cap. And thank you for your positive feedback and is great to have you as a viewer specialyyou can give yur recommendations, thanks for watching cap.
Nice 👍👍. Sometimes when 2 identical units have different wattages, the manufacturer changed the speed limit so an engine can run higher RPM for more power
Omg Capt what a preview of a product! A true honest no bs review of a product. Thank you for your informative videos I am a small boater using the Westinghouse generator because you have it too.
Awesome cap thank you and the westinghouse is very affordable that we can replace ir every 3 to5 years and is cheaper then a Yamaha or honda higher prices 👍👍👍⚓️
Very useful video Captain. The spark plug issue is an example of how class action lawsuits happen. Your upgrades have proved to outlast any warranties. Feliz Navidad!

Hi Capt... great information! It's nice seeing a side-by-side/old-to-new comparison... Most of us would not think to look inside a new product... That's one more reason we keep watching Professor OOTR! ☺ I wish you and your wife a very Merry Christmas! (and the puppy too! ☺)
hello cap and thank you for all your support and yes i usually open all my equipment to inspected because poor quality build, hopefully soon i can bring you new trip cap, hello to you and your family cap 🤗👍👍
Hello Captain great video. I’m responding to a video you posted a while ago regarding the leaky windows on the pilot house. They should have weep holes on the bottom track to let water escape out of the track. Thank you and keep up the cool videos.
Great catch on the spark plug Cap! Quality has gone down the drain everywhere. Those Westinghouse generators look like they have a sleek profile. We have a “bilt hard” 2500 watt and seems bulkier. Either way we’re trying to get some use out of it if only the weather would clear up! We’re landlocked Cap! 🤙
I haven't looked at it yet, but I'll bet it's the same as my harbor freight predator 2500 generator. I was thinking about using it to do some night fishing. I'll be getting one of the magnetic dip sticks after watching your video. Good info for sure. Merry Christmas captain.
14:54 Okay Capt. This is going to be the craziest KOO KOO bird comment you've ever gotten. I used to work with a lady that asked to "read my palm". This was about 30 years ago. Turns out everything she said came true. But one thing that stood out in my mind and I've always watch for since was.... She said my thumb curves backward, and this is a sign of generosity. A stiff and straight thumb is a sign of being stingy. But, she said she never tells people that. She tells them they are "thrifty" instead of stingy. I saw your curved thumb and it fits you perfectly. Anyone that shares as much information as you you do, probably has a very generous personality. Thanks for your generosity Capt. Was I right? I'll bet you've never had a "palm reading" comment before. Glad you made your generator SAFER.
lol thank you cap. and i love to share what i know with my viewers and i have another channel that i do the same thing is called Mercedes sprinter DIY thanks for your comment cap.
Next time try the predator from harbor freight i have been using them for about 7 years now and when they break i take them back get a new one under warranty then pay to extend the warranty again so I always wind up with a new generator every couple years that I have confidence in. Me and my wife love your videos maybe one day we will see you in the bahamas
Maybe when this one gets some age. Experiment with Velcro covers. I would imagine that thing needs all the air it could get. Use the Velcro cover when underway. Take them off when parked. Happy adventures buddy.
I'm thinking about buying the Westinghouse iGen2800. Is there a way to disable the CO sensor? I want to put the generator in an outside quiet box and I'm afraid that won't work if the CO sensor is too sensitive.

Do you worry about the rain on your generator at night while you're asleep in the boat? We are still considering getting a small 1500Watt, but concerned about it getting too wet if an unexpected rain storm pops up at night. I know you made the partial covers to keep out the water while traveling.
hello Kristy and thanks for watching my videos and i have see your youtube channel 2 bears outdoor and i saw you day ware there was a storm and you ware in front of the boat and i got scared of your safety without a life jacket . and saw the videos on Bahia Honda too. and about the generator you just need to weather proof it the best you can and i have never had a failure on it and dent buy a expansive one because is onlyb going to last you 4 to 6 years on what we love to do, always navigate safe and see you on the water.
Hi cap. Nice job nd good ideas always..I would like to know how many BTU is the ac you are using inside the cph .thanks for all the videos nd happy new year for you and the crew.
Hello Captain - long time fan and do quite a bit of boating in S. Florida. Can you specify which magnetic dip stick you purchased for the Westinghouse Genny? I just purchased Two w parallel kit for hurricanes, RV, and for the boat use. Thanks!!!
Hello, captain and welcome aboard my channel. And I cannot use Amazon links. They don't allow me to, but if you place on Amazon the search for westing house magnet dipstick, it will come out you'll see it. It's only like 10 to $15. Hope this helps.
Hello cap. And waiting for good weather, lately is been terrible weather for a 21 feet Crooked Pilothouse to cross that upseat 🌊 seas🤣👍 And thanks for watching captain
@@OutOnTheReef 1000 hours on the old one ain't bad at all. You could prob replace the LED guage on the old one. Did you do a side by side test under load?
@@OutOnTheReef I researched the Westinghouse 2500 before buying on Generator Bible. It had the largest motor of all non-Honda generators. Made it an easy choice.
How hard is it to replace the spark plug cable? my Igen 2800 came in with a broken cable, that plastic part right above the spark plug where it connects is broken. It came in broken from Amazon, unfortunately by the time I first run the generator my return window has closed. I can somewhat jam it in there and the generator would still run, but I may be doing more damage to the whole system.
@adobochronicle Woke up and that is terrible. But in order to put the cable in there, you must open the sides.And then one of them is really hard to open
you are awesome buddy thanks for your support of $10 i really appreciate it this will go for 2 gallons of fuel for the next trip cap is the thought that really counts for me because thinks are hard economically this days and you took some of your money to support my channel , you are awesome cap. thank you.🤗
I dought its weatinghouse making them most of these kind of units like the inverter 9500 watt versions all look the same just painted and stickered to the brand but all made in China by the same factory some things arnt built the best but a name brand like a Honda is out of reach for most people paying over double for the same size unit and get about the same amount of hours out of them especially doing what your doing putting them next to the ocean obviously has it’s challenges not to many people show them on a boat if they can survive years of salt water air they are definitely good enough to power a small rv or fridge lights in the house in a storm you should be sponsored for durability testing in my opinion to show how good a product can be even in worse conditions then most would use it for great video hope to see some summer trips I know it’s cold and stormy out there now
thanks cap. and i agreed very little quality for sure but we can get some 4 years of use witch is fine for the salt water environment, thanks for watching cap.
@scottfisher6053 It works perfect, captain and the recent I do that is to keep the salt water environment out.Remember , I use this generator on my boat And you know what salt water would do metal?
Mine the inverter module burn so i buy a new one but now the voltage is too high i measured the output voltage and is now 125Vac , before that was 120vac
You get what you pay for you should have bought a Honda or Yamaha way better. Don’t buy a generator for peak power always look at what the RMS value is thats the true running power.
Very true captain but remember since I use this generator's on the salt water environment. And I change them every 3 years. Buying a Honda generator I'll be wasting a lot of money instead buy it for 40%. The cost of a Honda or yamaha is way better. Thats the way to go ,since replacement is very quick.
My wife and I cruise and live fulltime on our sailboat. We have owned two Honda generators in the last seven years. Meticulously maintained. At around 3,000 hours in the saltwater environment, they quit. I just ordered a Westinghouse 2800 the other day, for almost 1/3 of what I paid for one Honda,, and I am will be curious to see how long it lasts. If I get two years out of it, I will be happy to replace it.
Great video! I just bought the 2800 for my home backup. Looks like I made the right choice!

I just ordered a Westinghouse 2800 the other day, for almost 1/3 of what I paid for one Honda,, and I am will be curious to see how long it lasts. If I get two years out of it, I will be happy to replace it.
Awesome video as always. I agree the spark plug design is awful 😂😂😂. Just an idea, copra un starter pull cable por si las moscas 😂😂!
