Georgs,
I do not have a photo of the generator in place.  I will be moving it off the
boat in the next few days, and will take several photos.  I use a square
plastic crate from West marine.  The Armstrong 24" engine bracket has enough
room between the outboards and the transom for this plastic crate to sit on
the deck, between the outside edge of the bracket and the hoses, to fit
securely.  I have a 3/4" board, which I have routed out holes for each of the
generator's rubber legs--and a strap which goes over the top and straps the
generator in place.  I keep the generator in an "Action Packer" in the cockpit
when not running.  The 6 gallon gas tank (could be 3 gallons) is in the
cockpit. when underway.  When running the generator it is on the aft cockpit
seat or on a second crate on the engine bracket.  (this crate also has a
board, and strap for the fuel tank.  The fuel line goes into the top (vent) of
the engine intergal fuel tank when in use.  The standard cap is kept in place
at other times.  The fuel line is a small diameter and had ball valves on both
ends of the fuel line, so there is minimal chance of any fuel leakage.

Regards

Bob Austin.
