At least half of our 400 clients use a Honda 2000i or like system. With a 48v 25a charger you will be able to drive up to 1200w into the battery bank or motor. Most have indicated that they get between 3 and 3.5hr on a full load of fuel. You have to let the genset reach power before applying the charger load. We recommend that the charger have a dedicated circuit on the ac panel and the genset be connected to the dock power connection so that you can switch the charger on after the genset is running.
The fuel tank is above the combustion chamber and the exhaust is not taken off the boat so that you must run the genset on the deck and make sure that fumes are taken off the boat. Take precautions and do not refuel the genset when running or when hot. If the charger has heat management it may reduce that level of power.
If you convert the genset to propane, you will lose about 10%.
