that looks like my westerbeke 10kw BTDA unit-- there should be a data plate on the generator side that tells you the rating of the generator-- they made a 10kw, a 7.5 kw an 8kw and a 6.5 kw that all used the same engine- service manuals, installation/operating manuals and parts lists are all readily available for these. (same manual is used for all of them. i like them because they dont have a lot of complicated electronics to go wrong. if it hasnt been run in years then expect to put in new impeller in the waterpump -- when starting - glow plugs first for 30 seconds then crank it. - many people ove the years have put in a small 110 volt pump in place of the existing mechanically driven pump with impeller replacements etc- just couple the 110 volt pump to the genny output so whenever it runs the cooling pump is on. just finished rebuilding mine and getting ready to put back in the boat- at 500 lbs they are hefty
