1. I put this 1/4" sheet of plastic down to protect the bottom of the boat while the generator is running and give a more stable base for the 1000 watt Honda Generator to sit on and also protect the bottom of the boat.

2. The bungy cords stabalize the generator in the dingy. I normaly have the cutting board in Pacific Wanderer all the time anyways. The generator exhaust temperature is minimal, but I use the board to deflect any heat away form the back of the inflatable. Extra precausion, probably not really needed.

3. The generator is quite quiet. Putting the generator in the dingy get's rid of any vibration it could produce if sitting anywhere on Pacific Wanderer.

Look in my album folder "Fuel Supply System" and you will see a portable fuel line that I can quickly connect to the built in fuel tanks to pump fuel into the generator or the 2-hp Honda tender motor.

5. In rainy weather I put the 3-1/2" thick foam seating pad that I use normally in the dingy, under the 1/4" white plastic sheet the generator sits on to give it more distance off the bottom of the dingy. The white tarp bungy cord's on above the generator to protect it from the rain.
