Just out of curiosity, Phil, what are you replacing it with? And what kind of boat was she installed in.
I'm asking specifically 'cause I was curious about the noise level at night in a mooring field or anchorage. Did you get any complaints from neighbors? And most importantly, how loud was it inside the boat while running? Curious 'cause we chartered a cat in the BVI in December which had a gen set in one hull right behind one of the cabins. Our friends who were 'assigned' that cabin loved the air conditioning on the hook but come bed time, they slept in the salon to avoid the noise.
