I AM THINKING OF CHANGING TO A 430 LEGEND. CAN ANYBODY ADVISE ME ?. ALSO,WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 43 AND THE 430. IS THE GENERATOR NORMALLY LOCATED UNDER THE FORWARD BUNK

If starting the "generator" moves the bow to
starboard or port and the cabin lights dim a bit it's probably not a generator. However, if the cabin lights dim a bit when you switch it OFF it might well be one
) With regard to the difference between the Legend 43 and the 430 you have indeed come to the right place. Just click on the link and you will be transported to the boat specification section where all Hunters are listed. Success! Flying Dutchman

Henk, read your post since you put it up and
didn't get it. After my third cocktail it's suddenly clear. Why is that?

I was just wondering if the generator is situated on one side of the bow(starboard under the bed)will it cause a list when u take into account such a big piece of heavy metal. Also,will it cause instability under heavy weather conditions to windward on port tack. I note that the genni. is placed over the engine in the Hunter 42,centerline of the boat. This seems to me to be a better place to put such a heavy object on a boat,even if it causes the c of g to be affected. Gerry again,TksHenk Henk
Clarifications for Fred and Gerry
Sometimes, when I make a text correction in one of my HOW posts part of the title mysteriously disappears. Don't know if this is Phil's problem or something with my own computer set-up. At any rate, the lack of specific information provided by Gerry prompted my half-hearted attempt at humor. For that I want to apologize to him. Fortunately, Gerry's second post provides a tad more information. Gerry, the placement of a generator under the foreward bunk sounds rather odd and undesirable to me in light of the potential noise, fume and heat problems. This is not to say, of course, that an installation there could not be done properly. However, that might require quite a bit of engineering, including extra heat and sound insulation, ventilation and diverting the exhaust gases to a drier spot on the hull. And, yes, the extra weight could be undesirable in the bow, particularly if it weighed a lot and were mounted off to one side. What are type (diesel or gasoline), brand and model of that generator? This information should enable you to find the weight, e.g. by using Google on the internet. Also, it would be important to find out how and where the exhaust hoses are connected, whether it has air or water cooling, how old it is, when it was last used, whether it worked fine, etc., etc. Nonetheless, if you do like the boat you should certainly not let the deal fall through because of the generator placement alone, even though it might take a fair amount of time, money and elbow grease to make thigs right in that location (or to move it somewhere else). Finally, you might decide you don't need a generator and put it up for sale on Ebay...... On "Rivendel II", our Legend 43, we have sailed all over the Pacific for 13 years without ever feeling the need for a generator! Success, Flying Dutchman

The Case of the Missing Title
Dum ta-da-dum .... only the Shadow knows what evil lurks within the heart of a software program... .... and probably only our fearless leader, Phil, can search out and destroy the title eating monster. I've noticed that too, sometimes, that on occasion the title would somehow mysteriously just disappear and drop from sight and for no apparent reason. I'm not much into cocktails but I wonder what the conversion factor is for Margaritas? *o

This appears to be an inconsistency that is only in the 'old' forums and was probably created by the mods reuqired by the beta forum. My advice: - sign up for the beta forum - when you come to the site put your cursor over the Forums tab - select Beta Test forums - that will keep you out of theold forums and avoid the problem
