Eric,
What do you consider enclosed space? Is the boat a hazard? is it wired for explosion proof? Can any fumes find a way below via breeze or any other means? Don't get me wrong, I had my honda on deck for years. I finally built a deck outside the transom for the thing to keep the hazard as low as I could.

Hi Tom,
You mentioned that the portable generators are not ignition protected, but there's not much in the way of volatiles onboard my boat any longer. There's the canisters of the alcohol stove with a jug of spare stove fuel and a small lamp with liquid paraffin. Of course, there's the gas tank on the generator itself, but do we think that ignition protection is still a reasonable requirement?
Like you, I only run the generator on deck and for me, the charger plugs directly into the generator.
Fair winds,
Eric
