I have just installed a Link 10 and now wish to get this Honda generator. I am running the original two 4Ds which are wired in parallel as house batteries. I assume my amp hours are 400. I have another Trojan 27 as a starting battery which I have installed under the head sink.
Where is the best place to get one at the best price?
Thanks

I would invest in an upgraded alternator, regulator, batteries and wiring system before resorting to generator.
There's a ton of threads here about upgrading the boats charging system.
I have already installed a Xantrex three stage regulator along with a 105 amp Leece & Neville alternator. We are planning a two month trip to Desolation Sound and the Broughtons this spring/summer and I can't afford to call the auto association. I like my redundancy as much as the Admiral likes her TV and VCR!
Thanks.
Can : It looks as though you've got things well in hand. Just make sure that the Voltage regulator for the engine alternator is a "smart" 3 stage regulator.
The Honda generator is great, especially when you've been at anchor more than a single overnight!! Sure beats running that $9000 diesel engine when you can run the $900 one (Honda) just to recharge the battery bank!! :wink:
and with the 2000, hot water! :clap
I also purchased mine at Mayberrys in NJ.
Mayberry quoted $879 all in including shipping. Canadian price is $1250 before taxes of 13%.
