T&T: DC Gensets

[David&Joan]

Here is a compilation of what I know based on my own research and public and 
private emails on the manufacturers of DC gensets:

Ample Power Genie, 150 amp 12v DC- Looks kind of clunky and from reading 
their website, it doesn't seem to be well supported for marine use. Anybody 
have one?

Fischer-Panda- Expensive, but a nice compact package

MAS- Maybe they sell a DC version, not sure. Bill, please advise when you 
hear back.

Polarpower- Expensive Lombardi engine based. I should stop by their shop and 
see it. They are only a few miles from my office in SoCal.

I wish that Jack Rabbit Marine still made their DC genset. They used to buy 
a NextGen package with our without the enclosure, less electronics and added 
their own large frame alternator- Powerline I think. This looked like a nice 
compact packgage. I wonder if NextGen could be persuaded to do it 
themselves. Bill??
