Well the dreaded day has come. When I bought my boat 4 years ago the broker and my mechanic told me not to spend a cent on the Gen as it was in rough rough shape. It ran for about 3 years and its in such rough shape I had it removed to be refurbished and the mount that it and the batteries and oil change pump sit on changed out for a 1 inch starboard piece, as the original was rotten do to water coming in the hatch.
Once I received the estimate to refirbish mine I think I am just going to replace it.
So my question is if I don't want to go with Westerbeke what should I go with? Phasor makes a similar output Gen set that weights 100 pounds less and costs $4500 Less. Also exhaust elbow is in basically the same spot, and I am having the new starboard mount made anyways so the customization should be minimal.
Any recommendations?
