Westerbeke- 5.0 MCG \u2013\u00a0Westerbeke 5kW Marine Generator<\/h1>\n

Westerbeke 5kW Marine Generator, 120 Volts, 6.0 HP, 3 Cylinder, 4 Cycle.\u00a0It is one of the most compact low-CO, low-speed gasoline generators.<\/p>\n

One of the Most Compact Low-CO, Low-Speed 5kW Gasoline Generators on the Market<\/h1>\n

Lower operating speed combined with a heavy duty base engine contribute to a longer-lasting, more durable generator.<\/p>\n

Optimum Fuel Efficiency, Easy Starting and Improved Reliability<\/h1>\n

Westerbeke\u2019s\u00a05 kW Gas Generator comes with Multiport EFI, providing optimum fuel efficiency, easy starting and improved reliability. Electronic speed control (via electronic governor) maintains the engine at a constant speed (precise frequency regulation) and eliminates \u201cbogging down\u201d when load is applied.\u00a0Water-cooled returnless fuel system aids in the prevention of vapor lock for improved performance in high temperatures. The MCG also features advanced diagnostic capabilities.<\/p>\n

So Quiet, No Need for a Sound Shield<\/h1>\n

Westerbeke\u2019s gas generators are so quiet, there\u2019s no need for a sound shield.\u00a0Featuring a 3-cylinder engine with a balance shaft that virtually eliminates vibration, the 5\u00a0kW Gen Set operates at an electronically controlled 1800 rpm for exceptionally quiet operation. In comparison, 3600-rpm engines are generally noisier than their 1800-rpm counterparts and require sound shields to maintain quiet operation.<\/p>\n

Five Year Limited Warranty<\/h1>\n

The 5.0 MCG is backed by Westerbeke\u2019s 5-year limited warranty. Westerbeke, established in 1937, is present in over 65 countries around the world\u00a0in order to provided customers with easy access to parts, service and technical support.<\/p>\n
