When you jumble quotes, and responses all together, it's really difficult trying to figure out any point you are trying to make. In order to differentiate between quoted items, and your responses, you might consider using the font color button to put all your responses in another color so you the reader can try to figure out your . . . . responses more easily!
See how I did that?

You never answered the previous questions...
"On the first point (in red above) above, I am not an expert on ABYC standards, nor am I a licensed electrician. However, if you should have a power cord available that meets ABYC electrical standards,"
Your original post suggested you follow manufacturers guidance with the gensets - I assumed that would include grounding the unit, refueling and CO protection.
"However, if you should have a power cord available that meets ABYC electrical standards, if you could send me a picture, I suppose I could hand draw a diagram of how to plug it into the generator if you really need me to."
You currently plug a boat into a portable genset using a power cord between the two?
"We were interested in a boat that had come up for sale recently, but after finding out that it had a Predator 3500"
What exactly was the problem with this genset being on the boat?
Why would you not purchase the boat and just remove it
On the 2nd point where you requested whether I had an insurance policy rider, etc, etc, etc, I believe Psneeld addressed that question correctly in post # 44.
"Do you have it in confirmed writing from your insurance company that a portable genset will not compromise your insurance protection in a potential claim and/or loss?"
"nor am I a licensed electrician."
- Perhaps post a link from a licensed marine electrician noting the correct way to use these gensets.
- Or post a link from a licensed surveyor on the proper usage
- Or maybe from a major boating magazine and/or writer
That is if your not able to find one from one of the portable genset manufacturers.
Not necessary, if you feel the need, do the research yourself.

Exactly, I'm glad you understood!

Actually, we're between boats at present, so no, we currently are not plugging a genset we don't have into the boat we don't have using a power cord we don't have!

Although I stated in an earlier post that I was not adverse to carrying a portable generator on a boat for appropriate situations, I also stated that I required a diesel marine generator first. Installing an approved, suitable marine generator in this particular boat would have required relocating, at least, one engine exhaust system and muffler, since they were apparently replaced AFTER the original marine diesel generator was removed, as well as thru hull, plumbing for cooling, overboard water discharge with vent loop, associated wiring, control panel, etc. The additional cost to the boat, just to bring it up to our standards for the generator alone, made the boat cost prohibitive.

Not required, already been addressed. Suggest you read over previous threads.

See how easy that was? and how much more sense it made? . . . Well, easier to follow what your responses were anyway.
Next time your might tryRED, UNDERLINED!

Excellent! , it reads much better summarized....
- You have no intentions of utilizing a portable genset onboard.
- At this time you have no idea on how wire or use in properly if you did
- since you are not using one you do not care about insurance
And since you are not planning on using a portable genset you have no reason to search for any information on how you would safely do that.
Hey can we insert "Anchors, or rode" to make this posting more interesting.
OR
take a look at Club Sea Ray their favorite subject is generators on swim platforms!!! Club Sea Ray
Come on folks, just laugh and don't take all this personally. It won't be long and we will smell old diesel on the water...
I am a bad bad boy. Just stir'n the pot!! Come on RT join in you are the #1 pot stirrer....
And, no, I don't have any documentation that proves I was already aware of it!
Besides, I haven't had this much phun since I took a Child Psychology class in college! It's amazing how useful it can be in daily life.
