Hunter 34 Generator
I disagree with Clyde. I have a 1985 Hunter 34 with a 3.5 KVA generator with a kabuta (Spelling?) diesel engine. It will run the hotwater heater and the A/C unit simultaneously. It is mounted in the aft lazerette on the starboard side. Yes, it adds to to the starboard list but it is partly offset by the fuel tank added on the port side and the A/C unit under the port lazerette in the main cabin. If you were out to save money or be economical you would not have bought a boat to begin with you would charter one or two weeks a year and be done with it. Th down side is that it is noisy and I have to add some lead sound insulation. It is nice when you drop the anchor to ride out a summer squall and you fire off the generator and the A/C unit, insert the ear plugs and sip a cold beer in air conditioned comfort. I think the lead insulation will take care of the noise, I just have not got around to it yet. The prior owner did the installation and he had to cut a piece out of the starbpard aft lazerette to perform the installation and then splice it back in. He did a nice job and the only thing you see is a fine line and two rows of small stainless steel nuts. There is a telephone number on the manual that came with my boat (Next Generation Power) (904) 642-8555. You mighyt want to place your inquiry under Hunter 34 vrs general interest as a lot of owners only read the posts under their particular boat. Fair winds and following seas, Charlie
