[Rhodes22-list] Electrical KISS

[Rik Sandberg]

Oh yeah, it's a collection allright!!!!

Only problem I have with the genset so far, is figuring out a platform or 
place where it can sit, run and still be out of the way. It can sit on the 
seat, but I don't like that, it's in the way. It's quiet enough that the 
noise isn't really an issue. It can sit down in the laz. when you aren't 
using it and you more than likely have that big old shore power cord along 
anyway, probably the battery charger too. Since we already have one anyway, 
seems like an easy solution, eh??? Oh jeez, I've found  a use for one of 
those things I bought. :-)
