I have a Westerbeke 5.0BCA unit and I have run it for 7 seasons and
over 1000 hours. Runs great. I had a problem with an intermittent generating 12v winding in the electrical end that did drive me crazy for 4 years. However upon a hard failure (fault now known) Westerbeke paid for everything related to the repair. Removal/ shipping to factory, refurb, return shipping, and reinstall. Additionally they did a 500 hour PM at no charge at the factory and provided numerous spae parts at no charge to help me troubleshoot the problem. They also waived the co-pay on this problem since I had documentation that the problem occurred during the first year. I would rather not have had the problem, but it speaks well of a manufacturer to step up to the plate on a 4 year old machine. The warrantee is also 5 years. Bottom line is I would buy another Westerbeke without hesitation.

So far, I have not seen too many makes, and would appreciate info on types I have not yet looked at. I have looked at: Westerbeke ($$$), FischerPanda (can't find a dealer), Entec, and American Generators. |
