Parker Marine Enterprises has selected Fischer Panda generators for their 2009 model year 3420 XLD Sport Cabin. The OEM installation will involve the Fischer Panda 6000 AC generator, according to Chad Godwin, director of sales for the U.S. operations for Fischer Panda. The reliable 6000 AC generators along with the Panda 8 Mini DP AC are netting strong sales in the outboard fishing market.

Powered by the reliable freshwater cooled Kubota Z428 twin cylinder diesel with Fischer Panda¹s trademark freshwater-cooled asynchronous electrical end, the 6000 is a favorite for sportfishing/powerboats (up to 36 feet) and sailboats (up to 42 feet). The 6000 can produce up to 50 amps at 120 volts, and with a noise level rating of 52 dBa @ 7 meters, it is extremely quiet.

As the only true 100%, water-cooled asynchronous generators on the market, Fischer Panda stands apart from the competition. No other cooling system is more efficient.  The Fischer Panda generator can cool the stator winding with nearly 100-percent efficiency due to the unique design of the asynchronous rotor that has no windings, no brushes or diodes. A conventional synchronous generator, on the other hand, can never achieve this level of efficiency because the rotor windings are cooled with air.

That same air is very hot and transfers considerable noise.  The air also carries humidity and dirt into the windings, which increases the resistance and thereby reduces electrical output.

The freshwater-cooled Fischer Panda generators provide distinct advantages over air-cooled generators, in size, weight, noise and efficiency.
