I have thought that the best way to hook up the generator would be to take a
standard shore cord set, and have the one end replaced with a plug that could
plug into the Honda/Yamaha . . . which should then use all systems that I use
when hooked up to shore power.

Won't this work? Or . . . am I missing something?

First off, There are manufactured pigtails that will allow you to plug
your boat into a regular three pronged plug or extension cord -- well
worth having for all sorts of applications.

Secondly, that approach should work fine for anything that's happy
plugged directly into the generator, provided you are powering the
boat only from the generator -- trying to simultaneously match it with
another AC source, like shore power or an inverter, would be asking
for significant problems.
