20KW generator recommendations

[firbanks]

I have redundant 20KW generators - both 1988 Onans, with >6,000 hours on the clock and sound shields. While both run well, I’m dealing with a pesky heat exchanger leak on the forward gen where basic parts are near impossible to come across. It’s beyond time to replace at least one on the onans, possibly in an upcoming yard period. Question to this experienced group - what suppliers should I be talking to if reliability and simplicity are my priorities? Northern lights seem to be the gold standard and Phasor in my homeport of Fort Lauderdale gets good reviews. Anyone else? Not totally against rebuilt or running takeout but for the effort would likely go new. Thanks in advance!

If the Phasor is built with simple parts like the 8.5 compact I just installed I would go that route. Do your research of course. Not sure what engine it uses. I bought from BOATSB here on the site. Decent price plus remote support. I picked it up and had it installed at a yard in St Pete.

Most, if not all of the Phasors use Kubota engines.
