GEN SET

I had a friend that had a houseboat on the Delta in California. He had a gas generator but I forget the brand. It was one of the big ones like Onan. Whenever he pulled the boat out of the dock he would start the generator and not turn it off until he was back in port, or if he needed to change oil mid trip. He would go out for weeks at a time and the generator would run the entire time 24 hours a day. I think he told me it made it to 14,000 hours before it gave out.
