aux charger?????
 

I am upgrading my current inverter from 1500 watts to 3000 watts. This
will power anything on board. What I would like to do is find some
sort of a set up that would allow me to run a very, very small diesel
engine combined with a high output alternator to put the juice back in
the batteries that the inverter uses without running the main engine.
Any sugestions on how to do this or anyone with experience with this
kind of set would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

look up the watermaker store in San Diego. I think they use watermakerstore.com
They have stated to market that very item. A small desil that runs a 150 amp dc
generator. They even have a model that makes water at the same time.

THere are several packages already out there with high output
alternators and watermaker pumps. The are not cheap though. The
problem is finding an inexpensive marinized 8 to 12 HP diesel.
