I have the 7K Unit and it runs it fine.....if you have a 10K unit you may need a "hard-start" kit but with that it will run (several buddies have Honda 2000's running 10K units) I have had the Honda running on the swim platform and carry on a normal volume conversation in the cockpit. We've overnighted a couple times with it and cannot hear it running with the cabin door closed...even in the middle of the night!!!! and BTW: It straps down in the engine compartment when traveling so it's out of the way and only on the boat on trips where it's needed. :D
I'm almost positive the newer Formula's have the CO2 sensor in the cabin .. I would test it often and maybe a battery powered backup ... I have no time to be mourning over the loss of one of you guys ... Russ , there is no vibration issue with the honda Gen? They are incredibily quiet .....m

The Honda has rubber feet but I set it on the platform and use a dockline to tie it off to the railings just incase. It's only used when anchored out and were on the hook. Since the boat pivots to face the wind I feel the exhaust is mostly carried away behind the boat. (We also have the cockpit cover on once we go to bed)
