    Hook up boat engine to permanent magnet generator.

    I used to design generators for cummins between 20kw and 1.2mw. Yes the technology is out there. Simply add another battery and a 3kw inverter just like the emergency vehicles and many of todays boats and RVs

    Hook up boat engine to permanent magnet generator.

    generators run at either 1800 RPM or 3600 RPM only depending if they are a 2-pole or 4-pole alternator. unless the generator is an inverter duty. 3000 watts at 110 volts is basically a 45 amp alternator. however the portable generator is not SAE j1171 compliant, so you would be building a bomb
