Any chance we can put this thread on ice till winter when we all have more time to go off the rails?
 
I would never take the risk, if you need power one of these is perfectfly safe and what could possibly go wrong??

What is the proper way to fog a honda generator?

About three hours before you wish to fog the generator, eat several servings of baked beans, a bag of pork rinds, and a little cabbage. Mother Nature will handle the rest.
 
If I bond the neutral to the case of the generator so I cant shock myself when I touch it and then but the generator in a dingy and anchor it off the boat 20' from my transom door entrance I should be good to go. Because the manual say It should be no closer then 20' from a entrance of your house.
 
I needed some good reading....something to smile about. Let me get a couple of fingers of bourbon and read the whole thread
 
As long as you can't see the electricity, it can't really hurt you.
 
My official position is "sitting on the couch, watching the ravens game". I don't have an official position on generators, but I do hope you guys buy them so I can pay the bills. I don't really care where you use them either. I am using mine right now in the bed of my pickup to charge a battery on my hydraulic boat trailer as all the hurricane Joaquin haulouts we are doing is putting a hurtin on the batt!
 
I'm backing Jim here, I'm far enough away from y'all anyway, so if ya throws beer bottles at me, they won't reach.
BOE also sell RV equipment etc, so why shouldn't you be offered a gen to use when your camping? Or back up at home, or whatever else plugs you in

I'm good with this!
 
I never understood how one would conflate selling generators to include endorsing their use on a boat on the water. There are many situations a boater may need AC power for their pursuits. So no conflicts, even with the views of those that do not promote portable generator use on a recreational boat on the water.

The above would also apply the the Marine covers Honda has as well. Honda has been involved with sponsoring many marine events over the years. It would be a huge stretch to conclude Honda is endorsing the use of their product on a recreational vessel. I doubt their liability law group would allow it, but they will happily sell them if you choose to do it. The cover was likely created by a college intern that has no knowledge of either generators or boats.

Let's convert it to a generic carbon monoxide and boating thread. Everyone can read the document at the link below first though:

http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/coboating/pdfs/ntlcaselisting.pdf

At the request of the U.S. Coast Guard, an interagency team (comprised of representatives ofthe National Park Service, the US Department of Interior, and the National Institute forOccupational Safety and Health) investigating boat-related CO poisonings compiled a listingof CO poisonings occurring across the United States. The last update of the listing compiledby the interagency team was dated October 2004.
This update was prepared by the Double Angel Foundation CO Awareness Committee. www.doubleangel.org, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing ongoing awarenessof the dangers of CO poisoning on boats. The newly identified poisonings added to theOctober 2004 listing are presented at the beginning of each section in blue Throughout the listing, information new to the update (such as updated numbers, or information added totext about poisonings that were in previous listings) are also in blue font.
This should not be viewed as a complete list of boat-related CO poisonings that haveoccurred, but rather as a listing of poisonings we have been able to identify through a numberof sources.
Each listing includes the name of the body of water (if known), a brief summary of thecircumstances of the poisoning, the source of the information, and the source of CO exposure(if made clear by the record reviewed). Individual entries are listed in alphabetical order bystate in which the incident occurred, organized in sections listed below.
