I wish there were a way to add a compressor to the genset.
It is water cooled, and very quiet, but it's pretty much a sealed up unit.
What brand / model? Link?

Fischer Panda® 4.0-kW

Will get you a brochure and engineering drawings

As you can see, it might be possible to add another pulley to the front end,
but there just isn't much room around the pack in the boat.

It's mounted in the starboard quarter under the cockpit seat.
To starboard it the hull, and to port is the aft cabin side wall.


Nice little unit. If you have about a foot of clearance in the front,
which it seems you would since that's where the connections are, I think
you could pull it off. small offset and an electric clutch on the
compressor. Need to of course plumb in the fresh air intake from topside
too.


Maybe - I'll take a peek first chance I get.
I haven't had the cover off of it.
It would need to have a now cover made for it to include any additions.
and it has to come out through the cockpit seat hatch.
That's the only way in or out.
It would be real nice to have compressed air available.

BTW, what is the minimum pressure required for a single hose SCUBA
regulator. I seem to recall that a minimum pressure was required.
