i am contemplating getting a little portable 1000w generator for "camping"
out on the water for running a fan / coffee maker. any suggestions on what
to buy or not to buy?

Thanks
Rob



Honda EU-1000 or 2000 inverter type. Depending on your coffee maker, 1000
watts may not be enough.

I've always been a bit leary of using 120v portable tuff on a boat
unless it's wired for shore power. or is wired correctly in the boat.t
something about he proverbial "toaster in the bathtub" syndrome isn't
very apealing to me.

What I think would be ideal would be to have a small 12v generator
hooked to a battery bank and use inverters for 120v AC power.


I saw a guy use a small 120v gen sitting on the engine cover of his
inboard and using an extension cord to a coffee brewer. I thought
theres something about to happen.

Don't know if an accident ever occured with him, but then again. I
thought "give him time...."
