The Next Gen 3.5 kW marine diesel generator makes a very reliable power source for off-grid cruising, or running air conditioning for a hot afternoon on the water. Quiet and easy to maintain, the UCM1-3.5 is a great choice for small to medium size yachts. The NextGen 3.5 may be a good replacement for a Fisher Panda 4200/4000, but is almost 10 inches wider so check your installation space.
Simple to maintain, and easy on the wallet, this is a great little genset for smaller vessels. If the mounting base is at or below the waterline (heeled or otherwise), you will need to install a vented loop to protect the generator and prevent flooding your boat. If your boat is a high-speed planing hull, the added hydrodynamic pressure while on plane can be enough to force water into the generator if it is not running. Get in the habit of closing the seacock when the generator is not in use.
We recommend a round strainer on the hull (never a scoop!) to keep large debris (sargassum, jellyfish, shopping bags) from blocking the water intake.
Please note: If you are installing on a boat that has gasoline engines for the main propulsion, you need to order with the Ignition Protection option. Remember to never store portable gasoline containers below deck.
* 120/240 VAC, 4-Wire installation requires additional circuit protection and load balancing within 500 watts.
Special Order Only. Usually ships in 1-2 Weeks.
