Re: First Time HUGE PROJECT WHOA
You'll want to be really careful having a portable generator on board!

Re: First Time HUGE PROJECT WHOA
Yes sir. It is a huge concern. May or may not work. Heat and carbon monoxide are my worries. So the box is lined and fan ventilated on both ends. One pulling in air the other pulling out the exhaust. The exhaust is piped through the cubby hole behind the seat to back of the boat where I cut a hole and put a vent cover. I updated and tesedt both carbon monoxide alarms. We shall see. I will be on high alert. If it does not work I will punt and try something else to get power. Any suggestions?
Thanks for looking

I don't want to veer this thread off coarse but you should also worry about operating a generator in an enclosure/confined space that has an engine with a carb that is vented to atmosphere with a generator portion that is not ignition proof. They are not meant to be operated in an enclosure for safety reasons. Its fuel tank is also vented to atmosphere and therefore is venting on board instead of overboard. Most people operate those in the open on the swim platform for these reasons. While there are still concerns, it's the lesser of two evils. There's usually a jerrycan that accompanies portable engine use, they are also not safe on board. I've actually seen people store these generators and jerrycans in their engine compartments. Be careful.
