Where are you going to find a genset that'll produce the required DC Voltage,+ Ampereage,..???.....<br /><br />And,....... You'll Still need a Bank of Batteries.........
It depends on the laws where you are. It's regional. Best to check with your local authorities in NJ. In Calif, in some lakes it would be ok, in some it would not.
If the ban on gas engines in your local lake is to prevent pollution, you may be ok. If the ban is to prevent noise or to allow wake-free use of the water resource for wind and paddle propelled vessels, you wont be ok. Those are the two reasons that I know of in Calif for the ban of gas engines on boats on some lakes. Thats why I suggested checking your local authorities; find out what the ban is actually for. <br /><br />If you get the green light to motor out with your gen and bats, please let us know how it goes.<br />
