I would take the $1000 you'll spend on the genny, cables, gas tank, etc. and instead invest in 200-300W of solar and an MPPT charger. The flexible panels could be attached to the bimini, and with 300W , an MPPT charger, and a cloudy day you'll be able to top off a battery in a few hours. If, for some reason the batteries are both dead, you might waste an hour or two enjoying the anchorage.
I'm going this route and if my math is correct the 300W panels should be enough to keep up with the fridge being run year-round.
@d@Dude_Himself Have you had any luck with going solar? I'd like to hear about your setup if you have.
Sadly no. I invested the money in tandem powered paragliding gear, saved some more up and bought the stuff to upgrade my trailer to Electric over Hydraulic brakes. Boat has been dragging us backwards down the ramp lately - I'd like to see that stop. Pun intended.
