When anchored alone and running the genny on very hot and muggy nights. with the Co and smoke detectors, I am not to worried about safety, but my genny even with the insulated sound shield still makes enough noise that I cant sleep well. So on the really hot and muggy nights with no breeze predicted, we make our way to the slip to plug in.
I adjust the same way, nothing worse than 100% humidity and no air. Not that it happens very often but when it does a reservation at the closest marina is also my choice. I could and have run the genny but then again it is diesel. Any fan makes quite a differance. Before the ceiling fan I used those portable shop fans made by ryobi or ridgid. Still have the Ryobi on board as it does come in handy positioning it as needed. Tend to use it on the dash sometimes on those scorcher days. https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-18-Vo ... /205022215

Re: Hot Muggy Nights
Topic - I do not have a generator. The way I deal with hot/muggy nights is 1. go to a marina or 2. think about our current weather condition, and embrace the hot/muggy feeling. We got another 5" snow last night, and expecting another significant amount when the storm in the West coast makes it's way here. Please make it stop!!! er

Re: Hot Muggy Nights
Seriously though I would never run a fuel ( gas or diesel ) fired generator whilst asleep, ever..... with one exception, that would be if it was one of the new diesel ones with all the pollution control stuff on it and that installed in my new Mega Yacht. When it gets that hot, we are tied up to shore power or go home.. ( we're old now ).....

Re: Hot Muggy Nights
how long does that RYOBI fan run on a battery?
A 4ah will go all night and then some. Really pretty darn good if you ask me.

Re: Hot Muggy Nights
Here in the south, it can be an issue in the late summer - we have water temps in the upper 80s to low 90s - so you don't get any cooling through the hull or off the water. We don't get a lot of them, but a hot, still night in August can be a time when you want to have A/C working. Maybe stay in the marina on those nights?
