Someone should tell him you are not supposed to use solid romex wire in a boat. I'm sure a surveyor would catch that...

But at least he erred on the side of caution and used 10 gauge!
 
This is incredible, nobody has spotted this as a simple, run of the mill IED being planted by "GAB"! (Greenies Against Boating)

It's a multi-stage device. If the CO doesn't get you, the expolosion from the vented fuel cap in the bilge plus a little spark will.

Of course, that may not be a bad thing when you consider who may actually pull that starter cord.

This thread can't go 4 pages. It's not even 3 yet. :). Someone needs to step up and tell this boat owner how to make this completely safe. Then we go 10 pages. I do like the idea of the running the bilge blowers. Do they make a high output blowers for this generator purpose? Ha Ha

Well for one there is no remote start what a hassle having to pull start in the bilge! Second I am surprised that there is not a connection to the main gas tank to keep it running... I guess the owner was going to do those 'upgrades' over the winter...
 
I think remote mount of that meter to the cabin would be cool also!
