Like a lot of cruisers
these days, I carry a portable gasoline generator aboard.
Compact, efficient and relatively quiet, it powers
Silverheels' 60-amp battery charger when wind and solar
aren't enough to re-charge the batteries. It'll also run my
biggest power tools.
Rubber footpads cushion
the vibration, but of course the machine itself vibrates
some when running. Recently, I found a way to put that to
use. By lashing a new, unopened can of paint on top, my
portable generator becomes a handy paint shaker!
