    Do I need a generator on 29' Glastron

    I am looking at a 29' Glastron cruiser (GS 289) w/o generator and 27' Larson (274) w/ built-in generator. Do I need the generator? If no generator, can I run any electronics (i.e. coffee pot, microwave, etc.) while on the water? Do these generators break down a lot? Thanks.

    I can't get my trolling motor to turn on. I took in into the shop yesterday and verified that it runs and works well - so I am assuming it has to be the wiring. I have the positive wire hooked to battery 1 and the negative to battery 2 with a jumper from the negative of battery 2 to positive...
