im going to have my dealer install a generator.
i know catalina uses puma generators. i hear they are whiny. i was thinking of a northern light. can anyone shed any light on the noise factor on the puma?
thanks.

May I ask where you are thinking for the install on the boat and roughly your budget? We have a 2016 385 and I’m intrigued.

At my catalina dealer. I also did a search on marine air conditioning and found 2 companies. The challenge with that is would your yard allow outside contractors. I'm located on long island

my dealerjust told me that the generator gets installed in the lazarette and you lose that storage. that was a deal killer for me., im trying to confirm from another source but have not heard back. cost is around 20k.
