That was really my question. I already have the Honda EU-2000i, so it's
not
an additional investment.
Furthermore, contrary to certain complaints/comments, it makes less noise
than the exhaust from the permanently mounted, diesel powered gensets that
I
had on my last two boats. In terms of courteous use, it's a matter of
common sense. If you think it will be heard or possibly bother someone,
don't run it.
I was really after the safety issue, not a philosophical discussion of the
appropriate use of a generator.
It can also be used to recharge batteries in an emergency and other
requirements for tem****ary power when you don't have any.
I certainly am not talking about it running all day, powering an AC unit.
Anyway, I think I have found my answer elsewhere.
Thanks to all that replied, even with the coffee brand suggestions.
