When running two generators at the same time, which I have had to do on some boats I could lazzara 80 and 84s, you run one leg of the panel on one...
On these boats there are multiple 24 VDC bilge pumps. The 240v pump is an emergency pump which can be started after switching to the primary gen...
None of these boats are operated as small passenger vessels so that’s irrelevant. For private use pretty much nobody is going to follow them...

The easiest way is probably to run the 13.5 output to a selector (rotary or double breaker with slide) in the ER that would select gen 1 or gen 2...
