8.0 MDKD Onan manual and zinc location.

Post by reelfishin »

We have a Onan MDKD 8.0 generator in our boat. I am looking for a manual for it and the location of the zinc(s) on it. Any help would be great. I plan on moving the seat and looking for the zinc's sunday.
We just got back into the water. Looking forward to some fishing.

I found and got the manual for our onan. It also shows where the zinc is located. It is located on the back near the bottom on the heat exchanger. I could not see it but I found it by feeling for it. Glad to have that done.

That is good news. Thanks, When we went to get the bottom painted we stirred up the bottom pretty good. I found our air conditioner strainer completely filled with mud. Our main engine strainers were as clean as a whistle. I thin that whole area is slowly filling in.

I have the whole set of tech manuals and user manuals for the MKD8.0. I have the user manual and some specifications sheets in pdf. Send me your email and will provide the user manuals. Do not know when I will get around to pdf ing the tech manuals. I bought them from Onan.
