I’ve been looking and this doesn’t look bad. 900w about 45 lb and will power mist small things. Seeing my merc 115 has only about a 10a charging system, it doesn’t leave much room for extras. I figure this would do the job. Pack this with a 20a battery charger, and I’ll have plenty for lights etc. tech has come a long way.

It’s gotten great reviews. It’s cheap and I’m liking it.

The only issue I see is noise, and possibly long term durability. Over
the long term you might be happier with something like this:

I think its a 4 stroke which would be another plus.


I was guessing he was thinking he already had a big tank of 50:1 but
maybe his engine is oil injected. Most OMC guys unhooked that VRO ****
tho.
