We put a new Onan 8k in a buddies boat and I think it was around 400lbs. It's definately nice to have a generator if it can be fixed cheaply.

Just found the paperwork and manuals from the generator. The generator unit weighs 438lbs. So I guess with the battery for it, muffler, and filled with water and oil, 600lbs probably not too far off.

But anyhow, I think i might as well just remove and see whats wrong and go from there. I guess it may come in handy if i ever add a big stereo system or lots of lights.

Access to the front of your engines will be a piece of cake without that monstronsity of a generator in the way.

You can buy a new 4.0 KW Kohler or Westerbeke that weighs less, is more fuel efficient, is physically smaller, turns less RPM AND comes with a warranty!

What are you waiting for? Yank that useless, (well, you SAID it wasn't working), piece of iron out of your bilge, take that puppy out for a ride and feel how much friskier it feels. You may be pleasantly surprised!

I have never met anyone that was happy with their rebuilt, old, POS generator, until they had spent more money on fixing it then they could have bought a new one for. And then once it runs right, it's a dice roll if it will work right every time.

Get a new one and be done with it. Once they break, they are a pain in the azz.

Good point, and I would assume the new ones are also quieter than that old onan. Not to mention, lighter, effecient, etc. Cool thing is it would be easy to install new, since everything is there. Fuel, wiring, etc.
