Default generators




Honda EU-1000 or 2000 inverter type. Depending on your coffee maker,
1000
watts may not be enough.

I've always been a bit leary of using 120v portable tuff on a boat
unless it's wired for shore power. or is wired correctly in the boat.t
something about he proverbial "toaster in the bathtub" syndrome isn't
very apealing to me.


I hadn't even given that any thought. I am a volunteer fire fighter & we
have these 1200 watt generator/ flood lamp things that you can barely hear
run that we use for running sawzalls at accident scenes & i was thinking
that something similar would be useful. They are essentially waterproof or
all-weather... not sure how they'd like to be submerged but the rain &
puddles don't hurt them any.

Guess I better do a bit more homework, eh?
