There is a 2008 29' E-ticket in the OSO classifieds with a Honda generator installed. Says something about in-water exhaust. I'm not sure what that means. Boat looks brand new, factory install? Doug

OK, everyone needs to chill out a little. I also installed a Honda 2000 in the engine compartment three years ago in my 37 AT. Almost indentical to this.
The Coast Guard has seen, and had nothing to say. The honda is approved for use in state parks, and has to have a spark arrestor. I would also open the engine hatch for fresh air. Spent several weekends on the boat running the Honda ok. The exhaust does not ever get over 215 , even on full output. Silicone hose rated for 600 degrees.
Yes it is alot cheaper than the standard marine genset. but I know it is safe and would not ever think of putting anyone's safety in jepordy.
So let it lie.

Someone fill me in. If someone can afford a 35'+ boat, it seems like they ought to be able to afford a decent marine generator for gosh sakes.
