Dad's GB had a real screamer for a generator (can't recall the brand off the
top of my head...though I've spent hours and ours hugging it). Replacing it
with a larger & quieter take-out this year.


Be sure and get an 1800 RPM unit (as opposed to 3600), a sound shield,
and a water lift muffler. Our primary unit is rigged that way and it
is almost inaudible from the flybridge or off the boat.
