What is this?
Can someone tell me what I'm looking at here? Generator/watermaker combo is what I'm thinking, but I know I'm probably wrong....

Lol! OK, I don't have pictures of the mains (or is this one?) but it's a twin Lehman 120 tub. Is that what I'm looking at with who knows what mounted on top of it?

What you're looking at is a piece of crap.
As to what it does/did, looks like an engine driving an AC or DC armature.

That's a 7.5kW Onan twin cyl diesel AC genset, MDJ series. AKA "bucket of rocks".
No water maker in sight.

I don't see anything other than an engine for a possible generator. The output end is not shown. Space saving was not a priority. I do not see any watermaker equipment. The heat exchanger and bronze pump are for the engine coolant. There is a seawater pump with cover removed down on the left.

Ski gave the correct answer of course but then again Bill in post #4 did too.

It's the part of a generator that makes the electricity.

OK, I know what that looks like, and I guess that's the lower green part. So the top part is some type of combustion driven contraption?
Now, don't get me wrong, I am not poking and I'm not technically illiterate. I took my first 50cc apart when I was 15, and I've been wrenching ever since. It's just that this whole contraption looks kinda silly to me. I guess the photograph doesn't do it justice, or whomever cobbled it together was a Franken product.......

The biggest problem I have with it, I guess, is the +/- 4" diameter horizontal tube in the front of the white (engine?) part of it......

We have a 7.5 kw Onan MDJE in our boat and it doesn't look anything like that. Not saying the thing in the photo isn't an Onan generator, but it's not an MDJE.

Indeed there are. Seems some components may have been "relocated".
