420AC - Generator question

[Don Smith]

Twyant,
Hi, just curious does your genset have a sound shield? I do not and have been looking all over the internet for one, Westerbeke said they do not handle them any more. Been toying around with the idea of doing the system from Southern insulation. We run the genset alot when on the hook, would be a little quieter at night.
Maybe a stupid question, I have 5 batteries, two starboard, two port and one at the genset. Can I assume that the one at the genset is dedicated to it, two of the other are for starting the deisels and the other two are house batteries?

Thanks, still learning the boat.
