| No more peace and quiet out on the water. Traded in my batteries and underwater 12v lights for a generator and four 300Watt halogens. Also going to try the trolling motor method instead of poling. Last week my shoulders were burning after I came off the water. Going tonight and giving them a try.

Good for you. 
Here's a suggestion for refueling.
These generators hold a gal of gas or 1.1gal. They will run for 4hrs to 4.5hrs on a full tank.
So you decided to stay on the water looking for more flatties and the generator has run out of fuel.
There is no light to see what your doing now, except for a flashlight.
I carry a 1gal gas can with me and I keep it in a milk crate to keep it from being flipped over.
I put only 3/4gal of gas in the gas can.
This way I can get the spout lined up to the generator tank and just pour it all in. This is so that I'm sure that I will not overfill the generator and have it spilling all over the place.
Spilled gas on a boat can be a dangerous thing.
Just trying to keep folks safe.

| I'll run the LED's the whole time I'm on the water so seeing what I'm doing won't be an issue.

talking about a external tank.....i havent tried this nor do i know if it will work, but would using the regular 5gallon boat tank with a "T" fitting on the fuel line work?? assuming its a 4 stroke with no oil added to the gas??? just a thought...

Nice looking rig!!! and as far as the external tank goes...i also have never seen one used but have heard that they make them for the hondas that have a fitting that goes on to the gas cap. i believe MR was telling me about this not too long ago. im sure he will chime in.
