Are they approved for marine use? Can you operate them in an enclosed
engine room or do you have to hang it off the gunwale?
You'd have to duct it and exhaust it to the outside via cowlings and
forced
air but it would provide the electricity to do that, no problem. As for
some
government, marine use approval, who cares? It's high time the
government
took a hike out of our everyday personal lives with their red tape. A
commercial boat is one thing, a private yacht is another thing
entirely.
Your insurance company cares.
I don't do insurance. Never have, never will. Insurance is a giant
rip-off.
Just go downtown in most any big city and some of the biggest, most
expensive buildings will be banks and insurance companies. That should
give
you a clue as the giant swindle that is called insurance. If you wish to
swell their coffers so be it but I will not.

Are you "self-insured" for liability, too?
Yes. That's one of the good things about being self-insured. Ridiculous,
million-dollar lawsuits for stubbed toes and the like are not worth filing
so they are not forthcoming. Other, more serious things can be and should be
anticipated and eliminated. Safe boating is no accident. Insurance very
often CAUSES accidents. How many times have you heard some insured idiot say
something like, "I don't really care about that; that's why I have
insurance," and off he goes engaging in the same, old, dangerous routine.
Insurance is socialism and socialism doesn't work.
