MODELBT8

The smallest, quietest, most advanced generator fer all ship-

WESTERBEKE board needs; 120 or 1201240 volt electrical power at the turn of
a switch for electric cooking, refrigeration, air conditioning,
cabin appliances, power tools, and navigationlcommunication

8.0KW equipment. Like all Westerbeke generator sets, it is fresh water

cooled through an engine-mounted heat exchanger_ The com-
plete unit is mounted on lightweight rails through soft flexible
