How to install the fan blades of a marine generator

How do I install a wind generator on a sailboat?

Installing a wind generator on a sailboat is a process that must start with an assessment of the sailboat's power needs. Knowing the amount of power that your boat will consume in 24 hours will at least give you a rough idea of the size of the battery bank you require and how many amps your charging devices should produce.

How do I choose a marine wind generator for my Boat?

The marine wind generator is, without a doubt, one of the most effective ways of charging your boat's batteries while you are away from the electricity grid. One of the most important things to take into account when selecting a marine wind generator for your boat is the installation process.

Do sailboats need a wind generator?

This is where the wind comes in handy. You're already using wind to propel your sailboat, so it makes sense to use the very same wind to charge your boat's batteries and ensure that every part of your boat runs smoothly and meets your sailing needs. Marine wind generators are more and more becoming a standard feature on sailboats.

Can a generator fit a boat?

New generations of smaller onboard generators can be fit into increasingly tight spaces, but correct installation of these diminutive units is as important as it ever was for their hulking predecessors. The change is noticeable. Just 15 or 20 years ago, generator-equipped boats under 40′ (12.2m) were a rarity.

Where should a wind generator be mounted?

The golden rule that governs the position of the wind generator is quite straightforward. It should be mounted in an area of the vessel where there will be no interruption of the flow of air or wind to the turbine from all directions. Generally, the wind generator is mounted on the boat's mast with two stays.

How do you mount a generator?

Generators require secure mounting, ideally with through-bolts and/or angle brackets, much like those on propulsion-engine installations; or threaded metallic inserts can be laminated into the stringers that generators rest on and into which mounting machine screws can be secured.
