Paul,

Not sure where you heard this info but it's inaccurate, NL actually delivers very few KC gensets, a few commercial units and mega yachts, but most MY's prefer HX models. I work very closely with NL, have been to their Seattle facility many times, and am now in the midst of writing a profile article about them. I've reviewed their production line a number of times, rare to see a KC unit.

I've never seen a genset with a dry underwater exhaust (it would have to be wet by default, you can't route dry exhaust underwater, at least not on an FRP hull), not sure how that would even work, it would make a lot of bubbles, rumbling, too much back pressure unless it had a relief port, in which case why make it underwater exhaust?

Perhaps this was a typo?
