Genset?


Recommended Posts

Air.

Batteries (especially with full complement on board running DC lights, pumping toilet, and launching a retrieving the RIB).

TV and DVD player for the kids.

Fridge/Freezer - top up since DC doesn't keep it quite as cold.

Cooker and Microwave (usually 5-7 people sleeping over.

Yeah a few things here I didn't think of, like charging the DC batteries when the genset is running. Anybody else?

Ice maker, trash compactor, big pumps, power tools, air compressor, welding machine....Christmas lights (it's the season). Depending on the size boat, a PTO to the drive shaft for back up propulsion is also a common use.

What services do most people run off their genset? I am guessing A/C, but what else do you need to fire up the genset to use when away from the dock?

Coffee in the am.

Keep the frige and freezer cold , Hot water .

Forgot about the coffee maker. Sitting on the back deck at a quiet anchorage first thing on a morning with a steaming pot of freshly brewed coffee! :605_thumbs_up::605_thumbs_up:

Then there is the blender - for the adult frozen concoctions but even more importantly the kids virgin frozen drinks - perfect on a hot day!
