Why Your Boat's Generator Isn't Running

A boat generator is just like the engines that provide propulsion, but instead of spinning a propeller they spin an alternator to generate electrical current. When something goes wrong in the system, you’ll first need to diagnose the problem and then initiate repairs.

The most likely reason for a generator problem is a lack of use, so spend more time aboard your boat and both you and your generator will be happy.
