If you want to be the least popular guy in the anchorage, fire up a
genset about 0600 on a summer morning simply so you can boil water for
coffee. :-(
but what if I am sharing the coffee? :-)


My original response recommending the Honda EU-1000 or EU-2000 was based
largely on their quietness and the fact that over the years I've seen many
people dockside in boats not equipped with a generator or shore power using
them for various power needs. I have an EU-2000 (although I don't use it
for boating) that has given excellent, quiet service.

I certainly didn't mean to imply that you should use it underway or even
take it with you if you don't have a secure place to carry it topside.

Others have recommended other heating methods that are also good I suspect.

These Honda generators are very quiet, certainly much more quiet than
the damned sailboats with their damned metal stays, and rigging pieces
and parts banging against the mast and each other all night long. If the
God of Sleep were just, he'd chainsaw the masts and rigging off
sailboats in an anchorage at sundown.
