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.

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.
