Re: [Electric Boats] Propane generators

 

Why go with propane? Propane has only 80%of the power of gasoline. No matter what port you go into you will likely find gas, but will have to travel to get propane.

Another bottle carried aboard for longer trips will cost much more to purchase for propane. A gas can can likely be borrowed.

Has anyone used or considered using something like these onboard?

I currently have a small portable gasoline generator that I am planning to wire into my home circuits with a cut-over switch system.  These small units produce enough power to run several appliances and could easily run a battery charging system.  When removed from the frames they should not require much room and are not very heavy.  Since we plan to use propane on board for cooking and possibly refrigeration, these seem to be a logical accessory.

Any thoughts out there on this subject?
