    Westerbeke power regulation is via capacitors and for the most part isn't
    adjustable other than regulating the speed, which I don't believe will
    increase the peak power much.

    Any thoughts from the group on adding a buck-boost transformer to increase
    the peak RMS power and clean up the sinewave power to enable the driving of
    a Trace charger?

    As has been stated elsewhere here, you might either have the regulator
    on the genny adjusted to a higher peak voltage, or get a step-up
    autotransformer (a "buck-boost" transformer) strictly to feed the
    charger from the genset.
