Generator 42DS

[paradox]

I have a 2008 42DS. We are trying to place a generator for 120V AC. I was told that the boat was not designed for a generator. Our dealer thinks a generator can be placed behind the aft cabin.
Has anyone tried to place a generator under the forward berth or under the nav table? interested in all suggestions.

Personally I suggest the dealer has the right idea. Noise and exhaust will be a problem and better to vent astern I would think. I assume it will be petrol?

We have a 2008 42DS and have a Mastervolt 3.5 installed in the after port lazzerette with a dry exhaust system. Oil changing is a bear, so we hooked it up to a oil change manifold system with the main engine. It is tight fit, but still leaves adequate room for storage.
