Our Defever44 came with two generators which, I believe, were original to the boat. One is a Perkins-powered 12.5Kw Kohler. The other is a 7.7Kw Westerbeke. Both have about about 2,400 hours usage. Having two generators is nice for redundancy and using the smaller one is more efficient for lower power demands. However, that second generator takes up a lot of space. I am seeking opinions. Should I have the Westerbeke removed or should I keep it? Th Westerbeke is extremely difficult to service. To replace the raw water pump impeller, the alternator must be removed to get at the pump which also must be removed. Wrenching all of it out of there is a bear so I am much inclined to just get rid of it.
