[C320-list] How to add a Microwave?

Mon Apr 17 20:31:21 PDT 2006

The honda is a 4-stroke engine so it's very quiet, I run it behind the binacle by the swim ladder and you can carry on a conversation while it's running. You can keep it in the starboard aft locker or if you only use it when you cruise somewhere, you can keep it under the salon table behing the mast compression post, even in some pretty rough seas, it won't move....

Do you have the generator permanently mounted somewhere?  Where?
I'm surprised that it's not too loud to be practical.

I was looking to purchase an inverter, but from the feedback and 
comments I'm now thinking of getting a very small inverter for my laptop 
(since it would always be on and draws such little power) and then a 
generator for anything/everything else.

Thanks again for all of the feedback.  This list is a great resource!

Given a choice I would buy the gen set instead of the inverter....you can always run a microwave with the gen set running along with other eqpt...I think the gen set gives you a lot more flexibility...
