2001 3100 open generator runs but doesn't generate electricity - lakesidevu - 08-20-2025

I have a factory installed Westerbeke generator with very low hours(less than 25) in a freshwater boat.
I have owned the boat for 3 years, with no issues. I have run the generator 4 times this year with no issues .I started it today and it ran and pumped water for 20 minutes, but I was not getting any current out to the generator to power the boat so I shut it down and restarted it twice but no change. 
What should I be looking for?
Thanks for any advice

First step--check the breakers. There are breakers in the cabin but also right on the generator itself, both DC and AC--you're looking for the AC breakers.

I checked them today and the fuse.
All looked good and in order

If you're comfortable working around high voltage, go through this step by step.  Otherwise, it's time to call a pro.

I'm having the same issue. I've tried to download your troubleshooting doc but have been unable to download it. Could you get it to me another way please?
