Using a portable generator to run A/C?

[Groucho]

Every once in awhile for one of these threads a pretty good analogy is made. This is one of them. I always look forward to the clever response.

This tells me that there is something more to this generator issue than pure safety or lack there of. Almost as if its an "image" sort of thing for lack of a better word. I'm sure most will deny it but is there a stigma that comes along with a portable generator on the bow of a boat? Dr. Phil, are you out there?

I've never heard of anyone brow beating the lack of safety concern for not wearing a life jacket (unless its on kids) but this generator thing gets the blood pumping. Hmm . . .:huh:

This is nice... (typical four winns)

That scared me and had to take a second look at the boat name!!! I thought surely not.....................:lol::smt043

Actually. . the issue of life jackets while boating HAS come up.

Many people on this board do swear by them for EVERYONE. Generally, the self inflating kind are recommended.

Generally. . the people strongly advocating the jackets are those that tend to the offshore / more serious trips that have seen nice sunny days turn reaaaaaly nasty.

Portable generators are a convenience, with a risk. A few people die per year taking this risk (at most).

Not wearing lifejackets while boating is a convenience, with a risk. MANY people die per year taking this risk.

Do YOU wear a lifejacket at all times while boating?


Just sayin' :smt001
