I went back to Home Depot and checked...the manual said the power consumption was 1000 watts.... it did say it had an output of 800 watts...and was $49.95..

Still to much draw for my Yamaha 1000 generator..

Guess that means no popcorn !

I'd check another Home Depot. Our HD has a $49 model and a $39 model that look nearly identical but the $39 is lower watt. I think it is 700 watt? They only had one.
 
If you want to make popcorn--- you need a 2000w.
A microwave small enough to operate from a 1000w would take way to long to pop the corn. IMHO :roll:

I also checked the Home Depot today--and the smallest Magic Chef (or any) Microwave that they had was 800 watts output--that will not run on a EU1000i ($49.95).
 
You guys blow me away with your microwaves, generators and inverters...I make popcorn on nearly every trip, it's called a deep pan, a little canola oil, butter and popcorn on an ALCOHOL STOVE! :wink: Geeeez
 
Hey Roger,

Yeah, I don't feel too bad actually, thanks. Was just trying to share a funny story (after the fact). Will be buying Joels outboard and seeing if he can fix the old one.
I was out on the water for days and did not have the tools necessary to do all the fixes suggested, though they are all wise ideas.

Shoot, I just stopped coming in for hard landings on the docks finally!

Are you going to the Fred Hall show next week?

And, if you run out of wine/beer, you can always drink the fuel! :smilep

I know what Charlie posted was in gest--but please do not drink the alcohol; it is denatured. Denatured means that a toxic substance (often another alcohol) is added. It is difficult to distill the ethanol (drinkable alcohol), from the toxic substance.
 
Anyone know if its illegal to run a dry exhaust generator underway or at anchor , ? just wondering thanks...... john
 
Including me ! Icarry one on my boat . Last year one of the uscg aux. guys at my marina came over to complian about me making noise cause i was reving up my motor with my boat on the trailer just backed down the ramp i was load checking something, he saw my genny and and was kinda snotty about telling me it was illegal cause of dry exhaust, if he wasn"t so rude about it i would have asked him about the legalites of it .( I wasn"t exactly in the best of moods discovering a cracked gimbel so i told him to " tell someone who gives a s---!" he started it ) no one in my marina has ever complained about noise before & i always use switchable mufflers around marinas & anchoages , etc. so i was just currious about the dry exhaust thing & figured this would be the place to ask about it BTW i am an active menber of the uscg res.& didn"t tell that moron that. kinda hate to admit it being an x- marine just kidding about the admittin part so don"t bombard me with posts . i"ll find out myself ( yea i can open my book and see) but figured i"d get a quick response here i like chattin with the brats & no i don"t blast around in my pleasure boat wearing my uscg life vest rather stay quiet about that & keep an eye out on the water for the real bad guys , always one or two who give it a bad name , any saftey reckomenditions i"ve given to anyone were always professional & courtieous as possible............. john
 
Any member of the USCG Auxiliary is required to interact with the public in a professional and courtious manner. We do not enforce any law, rule, regulation, etc. We politely suggest. If it requires something stronger than a suggestion we radio the coasties. They will be polite also, and have the authority to take your boat if it comes to that.
 
I know all about it . thats why i said "always one or two ........." & no we aren"t taking boats for making to much noise- you should know better :lol: ...........john
 
Many boats, including commmercial fishing boats run dry exhausts. The person who told you that is full of......

Many large ships run dry exhausts--many yachts run dry exhaust. The vast majority of the Nordhavn's are dry exhausts.

Many of the fishing boats also run deck wash down pumps--dry exhaust.
Some boat builders have enclosures for the Honda EU series generators--and these boats are ABYC certified.

The answer is that there is no rule against running a dry exhaust on a vessel, either at anchor or underway. There are considerations of one's neighbors however. But some dry exhausts are quieter than wet exhausts..
 
Thats what i was lookin to hear (figured it would be you Bob ).I know tugs & ships run em , but i could not find anythig about it on gen. sets . The guy at the marina who told me that is sort of one them put on my uniform & i"m mr. coast guard guys even the other aux. guys told me he"s a knuckle head. 2 YRS ago his center console was smashed up pretty bad & the repair guys told me he ran into a unlit channel marker ( if that tells you anything ? :wink: :roll: ) Thanks Bob your the best man......... john
 
I dug into the Coast Guard Site and all I could find was carbon monoxide warnings about running a generator that exhausted in the swim grid area. I think this guy was being a little over zellous in miss-quoting something he obviously miss-understood. :wink

To say the least :lol: . I couldn"t find anything either just wanted to know , he got me thinking . Iasked a friend of mine sta. on a NYC FD boat after it happend awile back & he didn"t think tehre there was any regs. against it but wasn"t 100% sure . I personaly dont see anything wrong with it anyway as long as like Bob said your careful with the exhaust fumes not fillin up your boat or somebody next to you , plus making sure nothing nearby could catch fire . ( I am always a little paranoid of gas & fumes but thats just me ) aw well what the hell do i know anyway. thanks guys..........john
