Generator parallel cables
I already know that I have a 8kw diesel generator on board but for a lot of reasons I am thinking of purchasing 2 Yamaha 2000W inverter generators and paralleling them together for 4000w of power. Whe...

kdk, just have to ask this. WHY??? Lots of money and you already have a very quiet, inexpensive to operate, built in unit.
I'm thinking the same thing? What is your motivation to go to the Honda's? Twin Honda 2000's have a stellar reputation nevertheless, why start carrying gas can etc.
I have heard of some buying 1 Honda for the quiet efficiency but 2 Hondas and a 8K diesel seems like overkill?
The "NO LOAD" fuel consumption for an Onan 7KW gasoline generator is 0.43 GPH.. The 1/4 load the Yahama EF-2000i will burn 1.1 gallons in 10.5 hours.
Is that reason enough to go with the smaller portables, I can come up with additional reasons.
I would like something like a true 1,000 watt Inverter generator, or failing that a fully enclosed genny like the Genrac 1000 I actually own (And if I ever find it somebody is going to jail). WHY, Well, see above. 1,000 is just enough to keep my PDI 9180 happy.
