My 29 Larson, we did not have a genny. Used a Honda EU2000 portable genny, and mounted on the swim platform when in use, and ran a cord to the shore power outlet with an adapter and some rope to secure the Genny so it didn't end up in the drink. Could run the air all night no issues.. As to where to put it, I'd have to agree with Rick, the back of the boat is the best place, not in the cockpit though, put it on the swim platform, and make sure you keep the cabin doors closed while running, just for some reassurance.. If your running stern anchors, and holding in place, then that changes things because the wind could change on you. Would recommend, with this setup, that you only run the bow anchor.. Not sure I understand the reasoning behind thinking putting it on the bow, in a bow anchor setup, is better/safer? Your putting it right over your cabin number one, so there will at the minimum, be the noise issue (if that will be a concern for you), then, the wind is going to carry the CO2 over your windshield, and depending on the winds, drop it right down into the cockpit, which will increase the chances of it entering your cabin, where as, if on the platform, the wind will carry it right off and away from the boat. Again, in a bow only anchor setup.. Ran my portable like this, for two years on my other boat, every night, so we could have air to sleep on a hot summer night..
