@ - I have contemplated that a time or two - the problem is that the river depths are not maintained so if it drops while you are up there, you are stuck!

Glad I didn't have to watch your normal intro on this video. Always think, wow, I (and wife) could have done that 20 or so years ago and now we'd have a boat to do the loop in. In reality, we'd probably have been one of the boats sitting on the hard for years and years with nothing being done. Maybe not, as we both like to do stuff like that and have plenty of friends that do also. Just think life might have ended up putting it on hold with everything that goes with it. Just have to be committed to it I guess. We'll get there in a year or 2

Hello Sir, nice video, may I know how long has the generator runned? 1. At the top, there is a fan, does this fan have any problem? 2. Is it possible to check the fan brand or model, I also have one similar generator(not Phasor), but the sound shield inside temp is hot especially in Summer, we would like to install a fan to exhaust hot air inside. Thanks

@@包磊-m6o - Hi ! Thank you for watching our video. We have been using this generator extensively for over 4 years. We have run it continuously for more than 24 hours on multiple occasions. We have not had any problems with the fan. I would be happy to check to see if there is any identification on the fan but it will be a day or two. We are running it right now to heat our boat and we will be getting underway first thing in the morning so I am not able to check it at the moment. But first chance I get I will check and let you know what I find.

There is sound proofing around the fan so there could be a label hiding there but I did try to push the sound proofing away as much as possible. I can tell you it is a 8” fan similar to the 4” ones they put in computers. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
