Thanks. If application doesn't tolerate it the damage would only be to
the pump though right? Is there any risk of damaging the generator
itself?

FWIW, this is what I want to power

If you've got the generator running and need to pump a lot of water,
I'd use a 110 volt AC pump instead, something like a shallow well
pump.

A friend, with a Ferro-cement boat, bought a sump-pump, I believe they
are called. 220 VAC and look much like a normal 12 VDC bilge pump, but
much larger.

A year or so later he ran head on into a rock (a long story having to
with "cross track error" here) and knocked a hole in the boat. Said
later that the only thing that kept him afloat until he could locate
the damage and stuff some cushions in the hole was the Sump Pump.
