Craig, The idea of putting the gen set in
In Response To: Concerns ()

the dinghy is a great one. I did it for years. Firstly, you eliminate the co-2 issue, secondly, you remove the vibration issue which is, most ofter, worse then the noise. Thirdly, when the gen set runs out of gas you can pull the end off your outboard fuel line and fill up the gen set without having the deal with a fuel can. I know, someone is going to say it's a 4 cycle gen set and a 2 cycle outboard. I ran my 4 cycle gen set on 2 cycle gas for years and it never missed a beat. I just ran the gas out of the carburetor prior to storing it and never had a single moment of trouble.
