Next Gen 5.5 kW Marine Diesel Generator – UCM2-5.5

Next Gen 3.5 kW Marine Diesel Generator

The UCM2-5.5 gen-set from Next Generation Power Engineering is a cutting-edge 5kW diesel generator that sets a new standard for compact power solutions, especially designed for space-constrained marine vessels. With an innovative design similar to its predecessor, the 3.5kW UCM1-3.5, this gen-set integrates unique and advanced components, making it one of the shortest and most efficient units in its class.

Compact Design & Lightweight

The UCM2-5.5 measures only 23 inches in length, 17 inches in width, and 20 inches in height, with a dry weight of just 230 lbs. This ultra-compact size is achieved through Next Generation’s patented low-profile generator mounting system and the use of Goodyear’s helical cut timing system. This design not only saves space but also ensures ease of installation, making it ideal for mid-sized vessels or as a backup power source for larger boats.

Efficient & Quiet Operation

Powered by a 10 hp, 2-cylinder Kubota diesel engine, the UCM2-5.5 is engineered for fuel efficiency and longevity. The engine operates at 2,800 rpm, which is significantly lower than the typical 3,600 rpm of high-speed gen-sets. This mid-speed operation drastically reduces noise and vibration, contributing to a quieter and more comfortable onboard experience while extending the generator’s operational life. The engine is freshwater cooled and completely marinized, ensuring reliable performance in marine environments.

Comprehensive Features for Marine Use

The UCM2-5.5 is equipped with a range of features designed for durability, efficiency, and ease of maintenance:

  • Cupro-Nickel Heat Exchanger: Enhances cooling efficiency and corrosion resistance, vital for marine environments.
  • Water Cooled Exhaust Manifold: Prevents overheating and ensures optimal engine performance.
  • Direct Driven Self-Priming Sea Water Pump: Facilitates reliable cooling by ensuring consistent water flow.
  • Stainless Steel Water Cooled Exhaust System: Adds to the unit’s durability and corrosion resistance.
  • Air Cleaner/Intake Silencer: Reduces intake noise, contributing to the overall quiet operation.
  • Oil Pressure & Water Temperature Safety Shutdown: Protects the engine from potential damage due to low oil pressure or high water temperature.
  • Helical Offset Tooth Timing Drive System: Enhances operational smoothness and longevity.
  • 120/240 Volt Generator: Provides versatile power output to suit various onboard electrical systems.
  • 12V Electric Fuel Pump: Ensures consistent fuel delivery for uninterrupted operation.
  • Extra Resilient Four-Point Isolation Mounts: Minimizes vibration transfer to the boat’s structure, enhancing comfort.
  • “Easy Drain” Oil Change Kit: Simplifies oil changes, reducing maintenance time.
  • All Front Side Service: Allows for easy access to all service points, making maintenance straightforward.
  • Marine Grade Tinned Wire with Heat Shrink Terminals: Ensures reliable electrical connections and longevity in harsh marine environments.
  • Remote Start Panel with Hour Meter and Harness: Provides convenient control and monitoring of the gen-set from a distance.
  • Versatility and Safety

A version of the UCM2-5.5 is available with Ignition Protection Certification, making it suitable for use on gasoline-powered vessels. This gen-set is not only perfect for mid-size boats but also serves as an excellent backup power source for larger yachts.
