Hi Bob, We have a 6 NL and a 9 NL on a 42 convertible and have been very pleased with both. Being all electric the larger one is often necessary but if you are part propane the NL 6 (also comes in 5Kw) would likely work unless you use a water maker also. MUCH quieter and smoother than the old Onan 7Kw. Hope this helps. > On Jul 26, 2017, at 5:28 PM, Harris Bob <[email protected]> wrote: > > Great questions > > First thing you have to decide is 1800 rpm or 3600.
