The problem with a fixed gen set in a 35 foot boat (I think the OP

generally it turns out to be a compromise.


That size sailboat usually has such a relatively small engine anyway,
I've often wondered why someone doesn't market a combination primary
propulsion/genset. IOW, one engine that drives both the prop and the
generator. Seems it would help with the space problem as well as
weight distribution.


Oh, like the new Yanmar-set?
