Frequently Asked Questions

Marine Generator Service FAQ

How often should a marine generator be serviced?

Follow the manufacturer hour-based and calendar-based schedule. Generators with low annual hours still require periodic fluid, filter, belt, hose and raw-water-system inspection.

Why does my generator shut down under load?

Possible causes include cooling restrictions, fuel-delivery problems, sensor faults, overload conditions or engine-performance issues.

Can you service the generator at the marina?

Yes. Most diagnostic and preventive maintenance work can be performed dockside.

Do you service Kohler, Northern Lights and Onan generators?

Yes. Hall Engine Company supports these major marine generator brands and other diesel-powered generator applications.

Can you perform load testing?

Operating performance can be evaluated under appropriate vessel loads, with additional testing coordinated when specialized electrical load-bank work is needed.
