    When a yacht is to by classed by a major class society and/or MCA certified, do the generators have to have a class certificate?

    I have been in touch with at least one Onan dealer who doesn't even know what a class certificate is. A Northern Lights dealer said that depending on the society, different accessoaries are required.

    But are generators and their engines as such not certified?

    If anybody can clear this up, I'd be very happy.

    Thanks.

    I've just learned no class approval of my gen. sets is needed.
