After dealing with the 1999 Westerbeke 12.5 KW generator that came with our boat having continual brown out issues for months (and lots of diagnostics time) - we decided to replace it.
We selected a Northern Lights 6 KW (1/2 the size physically and power, and about a 1/3 the energy use) which is an overall better fit for our power needs.
This video goes over why we replaced our generator and then the removal of the old one, installation of the new one and installing a sound shield after that fact.
Hopefully an enjoyable and educational ride :)
Here's also our full blog post going over this project:
