And this might be the engine in my next sailboat. I'm planning on hybrid diesel-electric with LiFePO4 cells. This small diesel is turning an alternator with diodes for DC charging. I already use an inverter for my AC loads and an AC gen-set would be redundant, besides much heavier for the same KW output over a DC gen-set charger. And you can run at a chosen rpm for efficiency and noise reduction instead of a fixed rpm for AC frequency.
