      Not sure what your saying here, but if your talking about the generator running and bothering neighbors that won't happen. The WTF plugged into shore power at the dock.

    Awesome upgrade to the engine room! And the generator up top is accessible and when it craps out, it will make a good anchor!

    We did pretty much the same and pulled our worn out Kohler generator. I installed almost 6 kWh of lithium batteries, what lasts us several days. If needed, we would fire up a portable generator to recharge them. We‘re in Michigan, though, a/c therefore isn‘t as much of a concern. The inverter would power the a/c only or a few hours, we would then either have to shut off the a/c or fire up the generator.

      @transsib awesome....An upgraded solar set up is in the WTFs future.

    Is this an inverter generator? They’re typically way quieter than a standard generator. Glad you’re happy with it. I’ve been there until I got my old flat head 4 cylinder Kohler back running. It’s way better to me. There’s pros and cons both ways. We’re up at Pickwick Lake and park in coves. I love to hear the frogs and crickets Last generator I had was like a German tank running onboard. 😂

      @MrCornbread108 yes it is....on board is quite and more convenient, but the portable is easy and cheap to replace with no salt water cooling. BUT eventually the solar is install will handle everything and the generator will be run only when supplement a break in sunshine. Probably something like a 48v 6500kw solar setup with 6 - 8 450 watt panels...

      @fish1860 actually not that bad. can't hear it inside and can talk normal beside it. hopefully once I get the solar I want the generator will hardly be used.
