View previous topic :: View next topic. I just bought a used Honda EUi from one of my motorcycle buddies. He estimated the hours at and bought it new last year. He just changed the oil before I bought it.
I'm gonna keep it onboard for when I do overnight trips and can't use my shorepower hookup. Here's some of my questions: 1. I plan on keeping it dry and out of the elements BUT a bit of water here and there is inevitable on a boat. Is it okay to get them wet? I'm planning to store it along with my 50' shorepower cord under the passenger seat storage box.
Is is bad for the genny to be bouncing around on the hard cabin floor? Should I try and brace it and put a soft base under it? Are there any tips to running it?
I'm planning to use a bit of Stabil in the fuel. Any tips on connecting my shore power to it? Or, what not to do???! I'm assuming that the reverse polarity switch on my boat will "trip" if there's a problem detected, right?? I'll keep the genny in the cockpit while running it and I also bought a CO detector for the cabin. I'm not gonna run it if I'm sleeping on board Back to top. Posted: Fri Sep 02, am Post subject:.
They're great little generators. Mine rode up and down the Inside Passage to Alaska and back several times. I made no special provision for "cushioning" its ride. I'd try to keep it as dry as possible - but a little rain isn't going to ruin it. You see building contractors using them outdoors and uncovered in all kinds of weather. I would avoid getting salt water on it, though. I made a platform in the splashwell to put it on, and was very happy with it.
