Generator usage question from sea ray newbie

[MonacoMike]

Mike,

I'm not sure I follow, but why would anyone run their gennies in a marina, unless the marina doesn't have power or their power is weak to handle your load?

Some just like to put a load on it if they are more what some here might call dock queens. Others will fire it up in the slip as they head out, all can pick up debris in the intake.

I tend to start mine out in the channel after we leave the slip in what I'm sure is an overabundance of caution.

I run mine all day when not at the dock. When you are getting ready to turn off the generator, you should let it run for approx 5 to 10 minutes without a load to cool it down, before shutting it off.
