Many boaters want a gen-set but have limited space aboard their craft. A new 5kW diesel gen-set can solve this problem, as it boasts the shortest length of any 5 kW unit on the market.

The UCM2-5.5 gen-set from Next Generation Power Engineering features a revolutionary design similar to its recent predecessor, the 3.5kW UCM1-3.5.  Unique components include Next Generation's patented, low-profile generator mounting system and Goodyear's new helical cut timing system, which combine to allow the ultra-compact size. Dimensions are just 23" long x 17' wide x 20" high, and dry weight is only 230 lbs.

A 10 hp, 2-cylinder Kubota diesel engine provides fuel-efficient power. It is freshwater cooled and completely marinized. The 60 Hz AC power it produces is enough to run any array of appliances and electronic devices, along with two typical air conditioning units. Operation speed is just 2,800 rpm, rather than the 3,600 rpm typical of high speed gen-sets. This drastically reduces noise and vibration while extending operating life.

A version is now available that is Ignition Protection Certified for use in gasoline powered vessels.
