Not CG Certified You would be a "test pilot" with the exhaust as Honda says no extensions Even if you exhausted it, what is the plan with the gas fumes that comes out of the fuel filler vent When it comes to fueling, how do you do it while keeping both the gas and the vapors out of the bilge One of the reasons it is not CG certified is that it is not spark protected. Sparks can do bad things in the bilge. If there is a problem of any kind, your insurance company will not pay out unless you defraud them- many policies require following GC rules My friends and family are more important than taking the cheap way out Mounting them on the bow pulpit or the swim platform is definitely a safer means "Been doing it for years" works great.....until it doesn't! The risk/reward is not worth it, at least in my opinion. Carry on........... |
Soft Start
Here's an example of what I was referring to. There are other manufs.

Wow, that was pretty aggressive! I was just pointing out some challenges that may come from it. Whether the Coast Guard will ever inspect or not, following thier rules at least gives a better chance of being safe on your boat. Here are just a few of the horrible reasons to run it in your bilge.

Not cg certified you would be a "test pilot" with the exhaust as honda says no extensions , i don`t have an issue with aftermarket parts use em all the time. even if you exhausted it, what is the plan with the gas fumes that comes out of the fuel filler vent it`s lockable when it comes to fueling, how do you do it while keeping both the gas and the vapors out of the bilge , what vapors? You`ve never cracked a fuel line, had a fuel leak, replaced fuel filter, drained water seperator, replaced jets and drained carbs?? I have tons of time and i`m still here so.. one of the reasons it is not cg certified is that it is not spark protected. Sparks can do bad things in the bilge. better check your starter, ac pump, alternator etc , most of those are automotive type and not cg protected. if there is a problem of any kind, your insurance company will not pay out unless you defraud them- many policies require following gc rules wifes tales just like the old , 'your insurance wont cover you if you`re not using the correct truck for the load' my friends and family are more important than taking the cheap way out calm down mr. Safety, theres a million other things that will kill you, the ride to the marine in a car you have a 1000% more of a chance of dying than a generator used 4 times a year. If i thought like you i`d never leave the house or try anything out of the box.i would just sit at home wrapped in bubble wrap. mounting them on the bow pulpit or the swim platform is definitely a safer means . |

I was impressed. I bet that bilge was tight ... I have room for hours, in front of engines there`s a nice spot . Not sure how I survived installing that secondary fuel pump , I spilled a lot of gas in the bilge .. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...979e7f1c25.jpg |
