Thank you! Numax it is then! I'm no electrician, but for a quick n easy boost a heavy duty extension lead can work ok??

I'm assuming it's a bit like charging the car batt? So genny to charger to leisure with croc clips?? Yes MUCH better would be to have it wired to the batteries permanently with ring terminals and fit a mains incoming socket (shore power) to the boat. But if it's only going to be used occasionally then probably easier to keep it simple.

Thanks very much for adviceπ I think you're looking on the bright side, solar is next to useless in the winter, your daughter will making good use of the genny and charger. That's why everyone has taken your request to heart and specified the right equipment. Good people who know how it is.

Thanks.π I think she'll be fine if she follows the advice you've had. There's chargers and chargers for instance. Getting kit designed for the job is key and where every seller claims there's is the bees knees, you can't beat some hands on advice from end users, particularly those that have failed trying to cut corners.

Thanks.π This would be a good idea, and I would happily do it if I were closer. Keith Duffy on London boaters Facebook page may help, or put you in touch with someone.

Just make sure you have a good amount of common sense between you all. Lots of people have a downer on petrol and gas, we have a boat in the family that has both and has been with is since 1991. It's 49 years old and hasn't gone bang yet... One key thing i don't think has been mentioned for both outboard and Genny is never ever refuel them when hot or on the boat. Always do your refueling on the bank at the start of the day, never at the end when you have used either - and certainly never onboard hot or cold day or night! If in doubt, ask, no harm ever came from asking questions
