If you're hooking up the generator to an AC fuse panel, there would be a
ground cable in the connecting cable.

OK, I've been looking at both Hondas and Yamahas in the 1000 and 2000 watt
range to carry on the boat. BTW, Honda PROHIBITS dealers from advertising the
price on the internet, or even responding to an e-mail inquiry on price. Where
are those damned lawyers when we really need one?

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?

Many companies have this policy. Don't you have a phone. I hear that most
everyone has one now :) Not sure where the dammed lawyers fit in though.

Should work fine. Many folks are doing it this way. What is your
concern?

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.
