You are able to run your 16,000 BTU with it?  We've tried it with a friend's generator and it all ways shuts down when we try to start the AC system up.  Do you have anything special to even out the startup current?
Thanks,
Bruce

I am certain the 30” dock cord would work, but you would still need the adapter to attach the dock power cord to the generator 110AC receptacle unless there is marine type twist lock on the Honda.      On my 310, the stern platform is high enough off the water  I place my generator there and tie it to the stern pulpit.  Granted, if it is rough or raining, I do not do this.      I have done this for nine years.

>If the generator is placed near the mast could you use the regular 30' dock power cord which is 30 amp rated with the twist lock, I know the cord would be a bit long, but it should fit the generator and boat connections and act as if the vessel was plugged into shore power.
