Abstract
An outboard-type generator includes a generator body mountable on a transom of a hull. The outboard-type generator includes an engine and a generator driven by the engine. The generator may be an inverter type generating unit and be connected to an end of a crankshaft of the engine. The generator body has a cooling water inlet to receive cooling water and an exhaust gas outlet. The outboard-type generator is lighter weight and has improved durability, a simplified structure and a higher output in comparison to portable generators.
