Results....this modified cooler cut down the sound about a third. Most
of the remaining noise comes from the exhaust. Also pertinant, the
gen-box looks good on the back of my upper swim platform and it
provides waterproofing for the genny, which will allow me to use it in
the rain. (We get a little here).

Again....don't hesitate to be critical and/or creative.

Thanks!

Looks like a clever solution to the problem. The one thing I'm wondering
about is cooling. How does the generator get enough air circulation for
proper engine cooling?

There is some air flow from the unused cord hole, 2 1/4 in diameter,
six 1/2 inch vent holes, and the lid.....I cannot, nor need to, close
the lid completely. Ran the genny with ceramic heater for 10 mins. No
sign of excess heat.

I think (hope) Honda genny's shut down automatically if you overheat
them.

The inverter electronics has an overheat sensor that shuts down the
inverter, but does NOT SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE! The inverter trips out, just
like it does on overload and the engine continues to run until you manually
shut it down.....before it siezes from the heat, we hope.
