Looks like we'll be getting a genset afterall. A Cruiser 32, which was
storm damaged has been bought by my yard after settling with the
insurance. Tiny little Kholer (Sp?) 4K genset will be a gift from the
yard along with an installation. She's all prewired for it and the
platform is ready and waiting. I have mixed feelings about it. It
weighs more than a box of feathers and we have yet to establish that
it's something we really need at anchor. In the slip, hanging out or
working, the a/c is a no brainer luxury. Still, I had to say yes or no
and I imagine this can only bring up the value of the boat with no cost
to me. According to the guy who's putting it in along with a hush box,
we'll barely hear it and no one anchored nearby will. I think he's
right since I can barely hear the genset of the Cruiser 34 that's not
far from us. It's amazingly small and quiet.
So...good news for our Heart of Gold!

Smart move bubbles.
Couple questions...is it gaseous or diesel?

Must be water cooled right? Hush box excludes air cooled
Were is it going to exhaust?
Going to need another strainer and thru hull.
4kw should run a 18000 BTU just keep Suzy's hairdryer ashore.
You going to wait till fall to install?
