Twin Yamaha 2000 generators
Hello All, I have a chance to purchase 2 Yamaha 2000 generators with side winder hooks for a good price. What I'm wondering is how long will they run on a fuel load running one air conditioner?If anyo...

I bought a single Yamaha 2000 because I was looking for something to run a few things on our houseboat, and I got it at a very good price.
I quickly found out that it would not run everything I wanted, so I bought a 2nd, and run them in parallel.
The Yamahas have been very good and reliable (probably put around 150 hours/year on them, and have had them for at least 6 years. But if I were to do it again, I would buy Hondas for the simple reason that they are much easier to get an extended run fuel tank for. Without fuel pumps on the Yamahas, that does not work very well.
My gens need to be filled about every 8 hours or so. That is a mix of running eco mode and full bore to get the inverter going, microwave, battery chargers, and whatever else is the basic operations of our boat.
