Westerberke Generator

Key Features:

1. Power Output:

   • The generator produces 8.0 kilowatts (KW) of electrical power, sufficient to run various onboard systems such as air conditioning, lighting, appliances, and other electrical equipment.

2. Engine:

   • It is powered by a 4-cycle diesel engine, known for its fuel efficiency, longevity, and ability to run for long periods under load. Diesel engines are preferred in marine environments because they handle heavy-duty usage well and are economical on fuel.

3. Compact Design:

   • The Westerbeke 8.0KW generator is designed with a compact footprint, making it ideal for boats where space is limited. Its size makes it easy to install in smaller engine rooms or compartments.

4. Quiet Operation:

   • One of the notable features of Westerbeke generators is their low noise levels. This model is engineered for quiet operation, allowing for minimal disturbance while cruising or at anchor.

5. Freshwater Cooling System:

   • The generator features a freshwater cooling system with a heat exchanger, protecting the engine from corrosion and ensuring that it operates at optimal temperatures, even in seawater environments.

6. Voltage Output:

   • It typically provides 120/240-volt output, which is compatible with most onboard electrical systems on mid-sized to large boats and yachts.

7. Easy Maintenance:

   • Westerbeke generators are known for being easy to maintain, with accessible components and well-thought-out design for routine services like oil changes, fuel filter replacements, and cooling system maintenance.

8. Safety Features:

   • The unit includes various safety mechanisms, such as automatic shutdown for low oil pressure, high engine temperature, or other critical faults, protecting the generator from damage.

9. Fuel Efficiency:

   • This generator is designed for fuel efficiency, helping to minimize fuel consumption while providing steady power, making it an excellent choice for extended trips.

Applications:

• It’s suitable for use on mid-sized yachts, sailboats, and other vessels that require a reliable power source for onboard systems.
• Ideal for running air conditioning units, battery chargers, refrigerators, lighting, and other critical systems while away from shore power.
