You guys want to see something cool? Check out Aquagen’s diesel watermaker, Refrigeration compressor, alternator, emergency 150 gal/min bilge pump and more setup! This thing is awesome!!! If I had the money I would most certainly buy this. I’m not interested in having a generator onboard. I don’t like 110 on a boat. The little 110 that I do use is for tools, computer and so on. My inverter handles all my 110 needs. I don’t use air-conditioning or anything that demands that kind of power.
What I do want is a watermaker and to be able to charge the batteries and run my 
refrigeration compressor. My little kubota diesel (4.5HP) motor only uses 1/8 of a gallon of diesel an hour and is incredibly reliable and economical. My main engine uses a gallon an hour and I cant afford to run it just to charge. I don’t usually need to charge as my solar panels keep my batteries fully charged.
Well guess what, I have the same motor that runs it all, and freshly rebuilt too. I also
have a cat pump (picture below) for the watermaker end, and the refrigeration 
compressor to run my big fridge. I have an extra alternator and I’d like to add the emergency bilge pump at some point. I guess it is all a matter of getting 12v clutches, pullies, belts and designing a way for it to all work together. It also looks like there is some sort of belt tensioning device on the AquaGen. I dont know much about this sort of thing so if anyone has any advice please clue me in. I’m talking to cat pumps now to get the specks. I think I can put a pully and 12 clutch on it.
Man if I can get this whole thing sorted out what an awesome addition to splendid.
Cheers from Georgetown.
