I'm still on the fence if I'm going to install a generator in my B31 but I'm pricing several of them. If I'm ever going to install one now is the time.

I'm pricing the Phasor K3-6.5kw generator. What others do you suggest?

The only items that I'd run off the generator is an AC, portable induction cooktop and maybe a small fridge/freezer.

I have a Mase 3.5 that was installed in 2002. I have A/C and a refrigerator,and a few other smaller items . Have excess wattage that i could use for other items as this is a 3KW generator.
have been happy with the unit. It is installed in a noise reduction cabinet as a single cylinder genset can be noisy as they turn 3600rpm. It is installed on the outboard side of the starboard engine. Not much space but Mase fits.

Thanks for the reply. I might be buying too much generator.

I know you’re looking to have a built-in generator and I wish I did.
I have a 2000 W portable this is what I run off of it just to give you an idea.
These things are on all the time. Refrigerator freezer and freezer. Battery charger. Small fan.
I have a microwave, portable induction stove and a small hot water heater.
When I run any of the last three the generator revs up high I have to use one at a time.
You might not need as much power as you think good luck

Forget the Mase, they are not really supported in the US anymore.

Everything except AC can be supported without any generator, only with solar panels and a 5 kg bottle of propane, the latter for instant hot water and royal cooking. Are there any laws against propane in the US?

When discussing gen sets covering Air Con, the btu capacity of the ac unit makes a difference.
I've seen 5kbtu units on 31's up to 16kbtu.
16 is the biggest you'll find in 110vac.
