Re: Hons Generator Recall
Roberto, we have an older Honda 2000i at home. It’s a fantastic generator. Ya can’t swing a dead cat in the cruising fleet without hitting a Honda generator....

Re: Honda Generator Recall
John:
I agree. There are several (many) small Honda generators on various sailboats at the sailing club and adjacent marina. I posted only because of the recall. It appears to only affect generators distributed/sold during a one (1) year period: Feb 2018 - Feb 2019.
I had thought of getting one for the house to use during "H" season so that when (not if) the electric goes out I can keep my Guinness chilled at the proper temp.
We all have our priorities.

Re: Honda Generator Recall
Nothing wrong with those priorities Roberto. That’s why we purchased our Honda Gen about 8-9 years ago. Saved thw contents of both refrigerators and allowed us to charge phones etc after Florence last Sept.Sea Hunt Video wrote: I had thought of getting one for the house to use during "H" season so that when (not if) the electric goes out I can keep my Guinness chilled at the proper temp.
IMO, it’s the best small generator you can buy.
