Genset Questions

[Potuguese]

Hi folks, Greetings to all:

It is time to decide on a genset for my boat. I have good pricing for Fischer Panda, but I am a bit reluctant due to the consensus over high RPM gensets. I would like to read some opinions from those who have them for a long run. Is it a good buy or should I stay away from them?

Thank you

Fernando

I replaced my ancient Onan Genset with a new BetaMarine unit and it has worked very well for the last 6 years. See: Generator Beta Marine US Ltd. Distributors for Kubota based marine diesel engines and generators for sailboats, yachts and trawler boats.

Fernando, Take a look at the NextGen . Much less expensive, much more reliable and much less maintenance intensive. Chuck

Let me paraphrase a guru from boatdiesel: The F-P is so overengineered that simple failures cause big problems. Stay away. NextGen is good.

Look at Entec West. Great 4 kw simple generator
