A good friend is hanging out in Oriental, NC with a non working generator. It is a 12.5 kW Westerbeke that was installed when the boat was new in 1977. He has determined that the 50A main breaker isn’t getting voltage, so it is likely an internal problem with the windings.

He asked Zimmerman Marine if they could take a look and if they confirm it is the generator end, pull it and send to Broward Armature for replacement/repair, but they declined. Darrel Foster also declined.

He is checking with Sailcraft but hasn’t heard back. Anyone know of an independent mechanic/electrician in the area that can do this?
