Not even through the month of January and we're this bored already?
Though not as universally loved as the Honda check out this deal:

I don't think I've seem 'em this cheap even on Harbor Freight? Shoot at this price you could put the thing in it's own bin, install an anchor lite on top, see if it floats behind the boat and hope for the best. Put enough line out and the wind should take her down-wind? If all else fails she's a backup anchor?
I would use copper pipe and put a heat shield around the pipe and keep it a safe distance from any surfaces. I don't see where it will be any different from a onboard generator.
Honda (and all other manufactures) have designed their muffler/exhaust system for the proper back pressure and performance. Modifying it in any way will reduce performance and likely do damage.I would use copper pipe
I would use copper pipe and put a heat shield around the pipe and keep it a safe distance from any surfaces. I don't see where it will be any different from a onboard generator as long as you take precautions, park with wind blowing bow to stern, don't use it while sleeping in the cabin, and have working co detectors. I also plan on covering the generator with a sunbrella cover when not in use to protect it, the sun here kills anything that is exposed. All this is still in the planning stage. What I might add is the generator is a 2000 watt with both 12 and 120 volt plugins and is not an expensive model so if it went overboard not a big loss only an excuse to buy a better one.
I have a 320 with HVAC and a Honda 2000 will not keep up with it. Going to have a genset installed.Just wondering if anyone has experience using a Honda portable? Thinking of sitting on swim grid....? Anyone?
The muffler on this unit has a screw on the outlet that looks as though was made for extending the exhaust,what I didn't mention is that this is a four stroke unit not two stroke. I will not be changing out the muffler assembly just extending it. If I notice any performance issues I will take it off.
