Then I can definitely see using this near water as an electrical hazard. Thanks!
Now, about the CO hazard? Anyone? :huh:
Their website just says to use it outdoors...well, duh! :lol:
Of course there are CO hazards with onboard generators as well. The difference is they are connected to the vessel's grounding system, they utilize the ground fault receptacles within the boat's electrical system, they are required to have the bilge blowers running whenever in use, they do not require cords being strung close to the water or even on the boat's exterior, the fuel system is integral with the boat providing extra safety and no need for filling from a can or carrying an external fuel source, etc., etc.
That being said, an onboard gas generator can kill you or cause CO poisoning if not operated in a safe manner. Portable generators are not ever operated in a safe manner, IMHO, when strapped to the bow or SP. Why temp fate?
