Yessir........ I run mine for at least 20 minutes under load every time we are at the boat. when we are at anchor I will alway run it longer that we need AC for just to keep it good.

I then pulled the heat exchanger and found my missing vanes and a bunch of others. Last weekend, I noticed the gen exhaust was getting noisy and shut it down. Figured the impeller was unhappy. Pulled it and sure enough several missing vanes again. Pulled the exchanger and found them. At least this time the only ones in there were mine!
What was the time that had gone by from one change to the next?
