The Most Compact 5.8 kW Available
Due to its unique design, the 5.8 BCGD gasoline generator has the smallest envelope available with slow speed operation.

Quiet
The 5.8 BCGD operates at a quiet 1500 RPM. So quiet, it does not require a sound enclosure.

Smooth Operation
Operating with 3-cylinders and a balance shaft that virtually eliminates vibration, the 5.8 BCGD is an extremely smooth running generator set.

Durable and Reliable
The 5.8 BCGD runs at less than 28% of its maximum engine speed, so the owner can expect more durability and reliability.

Easy Maintenance
To minimize engine maintenance, the 5.8 BCGD is fresh water cooled and equipped with a simple control system. Easy access to all servicing points (single side servicing) allows easy installation and routine maintenance.

Five Year Limited Warranty
The 5.8 BCGD is backed by Westerbeke’s 5-year limited warranty. The presence of Westerbeke in over 65 countries around the world provides customers with easy access to parts, service and technical support worldwide.
