Does anyone know an approximate cost to install a Koehler or Westerbeke 5k generator in a Sea Ray 280 or 290. I’m looking for a freshwater 2000-2007 Sea Ray 280/290 but several that meet my require have no generator. I boat in southern U.S. and not having a generator is not an option. Thanks...

mine is in the center of the bilge between the two engines and all the way forward in the bilge. Not too hard to get to but still a DIY challenge. I will probably have it done
Another question does my transducer also control my speedometer?
