Next job is to split the engine from the generator and remove it to see what can be done, it's scored one of the cylinders.
Hopefully it can be repaired...if not we'll look into another engine as they are supposed to be available.

Chum with the Brava 36 had a problem or two with his genny.
Worked OK for a season after boat purchase and then started to play up.
Reluctant starting,conking out when it felt like it.
Long saga of the world and his wife looking at it and trying various fixes none of which lasted very long.

Eventually owner bit the bullet and had the blimming thing out and rebored/refurbished rebuilt et al.
It lasted barely 12 months.
Finally bought a brand new one and had it installed.

No genny no power, no tea or heating/aircon was an ex MED boat.
The wasted money and hours of frustration on the old unit put down to experience !

would it be easier to take the cylinder head off first and have a look inside at the damage. If the engine has removable cylinder liners - rebuild could be worth it.
If it needs a rebore, oversized pistons etc, its probably better to look for a 2nd hand engine or whole genie.
Worst case and its scrap, it will weigh a bit less with the cylinder head off it.
good luck
 
Whatever happens the engine has got to come out anyway, so I'll do that and take it to the workshop and have a poke about, if it's viable, great, if not I haven't lost anything.
