If the generator fails to start after 60 seconds of cranking, cease

The engines and the generator share the same fuel tank. The generator fuel
withdrawal tube is designed to stop drawing fuel when the tank is one quarter
(1/4) full with the boat sitting at rest. Cruising attitudes and sea conditions may
affect when this occurs. The system was designed in this manner to allow for a
margin of safety so the generator does not deplete the engines’ fuel supply.
