Re: Running a generator on a boat?Hi Phil - this is actually not the case per the manual of the generator: http://powerequipment.honda.com/pdf/manuals/31Z07610.pdf page 17. The ground of the generator only connects to the generator frame and the ground terminal of the receptacle.In situations where there is something conductive that people will be in contact with - metal stage, boat, etc., it is highly desirable to ground the generator to this structure, especially if the generator is not the only source of power. Similarly, multiple generators must be grounded together.I was actually surprised this generator didn't come with a GFCI outlet. Using one is a good idea.
