ALBIN31TE Genset

[kenapower]

I am wondering if anyone has information on installation of a genset (make, model, location) on a 2007 31TE.The AC distribution has an allowance for a genset but I am not sure what is the best way to go , fixed or portable.I understand some boats have these permanently installed , but my boat has twin 315 Yanmars and I do not know where space would be available.

On my 31 the Westerbeke Genset was installed permanantly under the storage hatch directly in front of the walk through door on the transom. Previous to the Genset/diesel installation & purchase I bought a small Honda generator for about $1200 which could power the air or other fixtures but the thought of carrying and running a gas genny.. Much cheaper alternative but I was very uncomfortable with the possible dangers, never ran it on board & sold it.. Very happy with the Westerbeke but a bit more broke, lol

Ours is also in the same location as mentioned above.It is a 5 K Northern Lights.We purchased the boat with it already installed.It has 362 hours on it and runs great.If I am not mistaken ,I think it is a Luger diesel

On our '97 31'TE the 5KW Northern Lights generator is in the same location; just forward of the transom door. When we were boat hunting three years ago, it was a condition that it had a generator, as we agreed that we didn't want to carry gasoline on board.

How heavy is the genset and do you have a noticeable port list?Are any pictures available?

I took some pictures on Dave and Ann's Hideaweigh last year.
