No longer a Wannabe!

[Don Bradner]

We picked up our new-to-us 90 PT40 today, and drove it back from Phoenix to
Quartzsite. Swapping out starts tomorrow with the major task of moving satellite
dishes, although I'm only going to move 2 of the 3, I think (yes, I have 3 now
). I won't be using one that is already up there, but it means there will
still be 3.

First couple of things:

I suspect I may have some 12vdc issues, but I'm not sure - it will take some
investigating. The dash DC voltage did not go over 13 volts. The previous owner
installed a 2000 watt Prosine, and its display said that there was battery
overheating. Neither alternator showed much amperage at all.

At the back, upper right by the bulk oil gauge, is a blower fan. intake points
at back grill, output goes through a hose to a long rectangular box against the
top of the engine compartment at the extreme back. Did not see where the air
could go after that. It was running after shut down. What is it?
