If you want to be the least popular guy in the anchorage, fire up a
genset about 0600 on a summer morning simply so you can boil water for
coffee. :-(


but what if I am sharing the coffee? :-)


My original response recommending the Honda EU-1000 or EU-2000 was based
largely on their quietness and the fact that over the years I've seen many
people dockside in boats not equipped with a generator or shore power using
them for various power needs. I have an EU-2000 (although I don't use it
for boating) that has given excellent, quiet service.

I certainly didn't mean to imply that you should use it underway or even
take it with you if you don't have a secure place to carry it topside.

Others have recommended other heating methods that are also good I suspect.
