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.

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
