Know about Glazing and polishing the bores through no load running...like a lot of diesel engines...given that the boat i end up with would prob be run in it would be less of a problem but still something to be avoided...I intend to use 300w solar and the engine when moving to keep the batts topped up but also a gen when not on shore supply.the honda 20i looks like a good bit of kit given it has 12v and 24v regulated...there's no perfect solution off the mains it seems to be a case of compromises

Plan to use it when there's no shore supply,times of heavy use like using the washing machine.could just use the main engine but want to avoid glazed pistons...I'm a total newbie so open to advice

Anyone recomend a good Gen...seen some honda petrol ones with 240v and 12v outlets at about £600. the deisel ones are £1000's
