I'm contemplating adapting a domestic petrol genset 3KVA to my boat. The marine gensets just cost to much.I have tons of engine room space and anticipate only needing to turn it on a couple of times a week. Saves running the main engines to charge the batteries.My idea is to purchase an inexpensive key start unit duct fresh air to an automotive electric radiator fan and pipe the exhaust through to a marine extraction fan and out the side of the boat. Since the engines are 4 stroke air cooled I believe it should be adequate for keeping the thing cool.I have a carbon monoxide alarm already in case there is an exhaust leak....Does anybody see any fundamental problems with what I'm planning to do and has anybody else done or contemplated the same...I know the marine gensets are purpose built but in my case it's for occasional use and I can do the whole thing for under $500 vs $3k and up for a marine unit. There's the incentive.All ideas, criticisms, warnings welcome...
