UCM1-3.5E

Traditional direct-coupled 1,800 rpm gen-sets are often too large and heavy to fit in many small to medium-sized vessels where space is at a premium. Using a patent-pending design, Next Generation Power Engineering, Inc. offers an ultra-compact, lightweight 3.5KW diesel machine that doesn’t resort to the current trend of high speed 3,600 rpm operation.
A rigid engine-to-generator attaching plate, combined with a state-of-the-art helical style timing drive system, permits a lower rpm operation. This allows the engine to run at a comfortable and quiet mid-range speed of 2,800 rpm, while still providing an AC output of 60 Hz. The 7 hp Kubota single-cylinder diesel engine uses a horizontal design, making the UCM1-3.5 the lowest profile gen-set built to date. Dimensions are 28" long x 15" wide x 15" high at a dry weight of only 160 lbs.
Many small gen-sets can’t run air conditioners and motors due to their low horsepower and marginally-sized generators. This gen-set uses a heavy-duty 5.0KVA generator end, allowing easy starts on up to 16,000 BTU air conditioners or pairs of smaller AC units.
The UCM1-3.5 is available in a standard version or in a modified configuration that is Ignition Protection Certified for use in gasoline-powered vessels. Diesel gen-sets in gas boats are becoming more popular as generator manufacturers are dropping their gasoline lines due to safety and liability concerns. With a 5-10 gallon auxiliary tank, owners of gasoline boats can now enjoy the safety, reliability, and fuel economy of diesel at about the same price as current gas gen-sets.
UCM2-5.5E

Many boaters want a gen-set but have limited space aboard their craft. A new 5 kW diesel gen-set can solve this problem, as it boasts the shortest length of any 5 kW unit on the market.
The UCM2-5.5 gen-set from Next Generation Power Engineering features a revolutionary design similar to its recent predecessor, the 3.5kW UCM1-3.5. Unique components include Next Generation’s patented, low-profile generator mounting system and Goodyear’s new helical cut timing system, which combine to allow the ultra-compact size. Dimensions are just 23" long x 17" wide x 20" high, and dry weight is only 230 lbs.
A 10 hp, 2-cylinder Kubota diesel engine provides fuel-efficient power. It is freshwater cooled and completely marinized. The 60 Hz AC power it produces is enough to run any array of appliances and electronic devices, along with two typical air conditioning units. Operation speed is just 2,800 rpm, rather than the 3,600 rpm typical of high-speed gen-sets. This drastically reduces noise and vibration while extending operating life.
UCM3-9.5E

Next Generation's UCM3-9.5E is perfect for mid-size vessels or as a backup for large vessels.
- Mid-speed operation provides low sound and vibration levels, comparable to same kW heavyweight 1,800 RPM sets.
- Super-efficient “Three Vortex Combustion System” provides great power output and cleaner-burning exhaust while reducing fuel consumption to a minimum.
- Compact size & lightweight make for easy installation.
- One-side service provides easy maintenance.
