<p>If you have a large Wharram with outboards, what do you do for heated water and electrical generation?</p>
<p>On of the advantages of some the diesel engine systems some have used on Tike 46's and other larger Wharrams is that diesels produce a lot of waste heat which you can capture for heating water with a heat exchanger, and you can easily put large alternators on diesels to produce electrical power, but outboards have much smaller alternators and no water heating capability. </p>

<p>So we're curious what alternatives those of you with outboards use, how well they work, and if they supply adequate power and HW?</p>
