Re: Carver 38Ss generator auto switch
If gas engines, you want the blower on for a few minutes first. Not a big problem, just add another TDR. Next, do you always want it to turn on if voltage is low? Maybe lost shore power at the marina for a few hours batteries pick up the fridge and get a bit low, genny comes on, your not on the boat, neighbors get gassed out. Then what about shutting it off? if you try to do it automatically on voltage, it will shut off as soon as the battery charger fires up, then start again, endless cycle.
I think I would rather just hit the start switch.
