Generator fitting
Marine generators specified, mounted, and plumbed in for quiet, dependable auxiliary power, with the exhaust, fuel, and electrics handled to standard.
Overview
A generator is only quiet if it is installed quietly.
Generators get a bad reputation when they are dropped into the wrong space with the wrong exhaust and the wrong mounts. Done properly, a modern marine genset is unobtrusive, runs cleanly, and earns its place on the boat.
We spec gensets sized to your real AC and charging loads, not the headline brochure number. Mounting is on isolators that match the unit. Exhaust uses a proper water-injected route with a sound trap. Fuel is taken from the main tank with a dedicated standpipe.
Electrically, the genset is integrated with shore and inverter so the AC supply is always controlled, with no risk of two sources fighting. Output is metered so you know what the unit is doing.
