Yachts,
This really depends on what Engine the Gen has. The newer YANMAR Engines are much more expensive to rebuild than to just replace. Now if this was a PERKINS I would just use it until it needed it needed major repairs and then do a rebuild.
PS We have an '82 with a 12.5 KOHLER ond PERKINS Diesel. Might not be "Green" but...................
