a word of caution we had to replace the engine on a 5.0 westerbeke its a 3 cylinder 8hp mitubishi industrial engine but it had a cat built into the exaust manifold(even i did not know about it) it plugged and slowly killed the little engine it was 5 grand for parts to rebuild or 2 grand for a new long block this unit had 3000 hrs in a fishing boat new as of last fall their now fuel injected and around 12g

I have a 5kw Kohler on the formula. It's a nice compact genset, but it had not been used for quite a while. It only had 8 hours on it when I bought the boat. Lack of use seems to be what makes these things so temperamental. I went through it and caught up all the maintenance and now make it a habit to run it for a few hours every time we go out. Seems fine now.

I don't now if that will fit. If he has Staggered engines it might go in front of the aft mounted one.Plus you need room around it.
