    That is what the article was referring to when speaking of rudeness. People
    only thinking of themselves. Perhaps you could suggest the owner spend a
    little money to do everything to quiet the generator.

    For what it is worth,

    I skipper an Azimut 46, a million dollar twin diesel boat that looks like a
    Ferrari on the water with two air conditioners and a 12.5 kw generator. She
    has TV's, stereos, fridge, water maker, and much more on AC. The batteries
    might last 6 hours with the DC light, blower and pumps on. The owner
    recently purchased a $900 expresso machine (AC powered). If anyone has the
    expectation of a boat equipped like this (and don't kid yourself, there are
    many in the world) of turning off their genset at night, you're dreaming.

    The article above did not mention gensets in particular, but it did mention
    isolation through watching television. Turn the genset and the television
    off. It also mentioned the attitude, expressed by some on this list, which
    anything one does is okay as long as one is happy. JD?
