 To find the best generator for a boat out there, we rated the top generator models by engine power, rated/maximum output, fuel tank capacity, noise level, weight, and portability. We also noted whether the generator had issues with the pull-starter, carb clearance for storage and oil fill. Engine power is an important consideration because you need to know that the generator you choose can keep up with the demands of whatever job you need it to do. With marine generators, it is especially important to note fuel tank capacity, because you don’t want to run out of fuel in the middle of nowhere. Since space is at a premium on boats, you will want to make sure the generator’s noise level stays at a comfortable purr, so it won’t interfere with any of your activities. Weight and portability to carry the generator to and from your vessel have also been considered. Each extra pound aboard a vessel will affect its speed and buoyancy, so it’s important to know your vessel’s capacity and consider the weight of the generator. We searched out customer and expert reviews and product specs for each of the top generator brands and have listed our findings in the table below. The generators have been listed according to our ranking. Included also is a detailed review of each product, and a buying guide that we hope will clear up the most important things you need to know before taking a generator aboard.

Top 6 Generators for Boat Review 2021 1.Briggs & Stratton P2200 – Editor's Choice FEATURES Peak/rated watts: 2,200/1,700 Engine: 110cc Briggs & Stratton OHV Fuel tank: 1 gal. Runtime: 8 hrs. (25% load) Outlets: (2) 120V Household, (1) 12V-5A, DC Outlet with USB Adapter Start type: recoil Noise level: 59 dB(A) Warranty: 2-year limited Check price PREVIOUS NEXT 9.7 READ FULL REVIEW: Briggs & Stratton P2200 Review The Briggs & Stratton P2200 functions as well as an ordinary generator that keeps up with the wattages coming in at 2,200 starting and 1,700 running watts. It does weigh in at the heaviest of all of them, 55 pounds, which is a good 11 pounds heavier than the Yamaha. This would make a significant difference to practical portability for people with back problems or tendonitis. Some people say they liked the handle, others said the reviews of the 3,000 were mixed in with the 2,200, which confusingly stated that it contained a suitcase-style handle and wheels for east of portability. There were also complaints that the noise level it claims is not what they measured. Many users stated it is louder than the other varieties of generator, for example, the Honda. This would be especially problematic on a boat as sound is multiplied and carried easily over water. Despite this, there is a switch for turning on “Quiet Power Technology,” which is extremely effective at limiting noise, but it cannot be used at capacity in this mode, although it does save on fuel by reducing RPMs. The PowerSmart mode adjusts the engine speed based on the electrical load. Some people had difficulties with starting the Briggs-Stratton generator unless it was used quite regularly. Even then, its start is not easy – taking four pulls, a departure from the rest of the pack that start easily with one. There is a handy LED light system to alert you of output, low-oil and/or impending overload. Also, it does have parallel capability to hook up and combine the power of two units together if you need more power. What do we love it for? Fuel efficient Parallel outlet Two-person handle Flexible outlets Powerful What were we disappointed with? Not shipped to California Lacks gas gauge and fuel shut-off valve Louder than claims Heaviest of all RELATED: Top 7 Portable Generators for Tailgating – Reviews and Buying Guide
