Marine diesel silent running generator wanted

[marvellous]

Any ideas where I can get a 4kw Onan or similar generator preferably used with low hours thanks

google
"mastervolt whisper"
or
"Panda generator"

we have used them in Outside Broadcast Vans, and they need to be silent

Used low-hours generators are like hen's teeth. About your only chance will be from a distributor I would have thought; I know of cases where stock boats built with lower-power generators have had them swapped out by the distributor when the boat was sold to a Med buyer.

I may be removing a 4kva Onan from a new fairline to install a 7.5kva along with aircon. It would be in Mallorca. Not sure if this would be of interest.

I should know what is happening to the 4kva one soon.

I will keep you posted.

I'd also be interested in this unit, I'm in Barcelona.

Keep an eye on either Ebay or Boats and Outboards. I needed a used 6kva marine generator for my new boat and trawled on ebay for what seemed like months. A Fischer Panda one popped up with just 92 hours logged and after a quick chat with the seller it was mine. All within 2 hours of the generator being listed. Went to collect it and it was just perfect. Now awaiting fittting in the next few weeks.......

So, it's worth a little hassle but they do appear and I've seen one or two in the last week. Desite buying mine I was addicted to the 'search' routine and still keep a lookout now!
