We are hoping to close soon on a new to us boat. No generator on board, yet.
I've had a number of small dive compressors before, but not yet had to power one with an onboard genset.
So, I'm in the 4cfm size category, and considering a 3 or a 5 hp 240V version.
The genset I'm considering is a NexGen 9.5kW. Its small for its output, but will be a squeeze fit. But, even the NexGen apps person wasn't sure what size motor I could start with it.
The Alkin W31 is the series of compressor I'm considering. THis would be the only load, if the compressor is on.
Any real world experience out there ?
