Here's the damaged elbow on the left. On the right, you can see the damage to the ribs on the inner side of the covering panel where I assume that somebody was in a hurry and gave the panel a good whack to close it rather than seating it properly... Maybe it was the last unit of the day.

Of course, the Honeywell has a different orientation than the Honda so we'll have to position it differently. The Honda has its control panel on the front with exhaust in the back and the pull cord on its starboard side. The Honeywell has its control panel and pull cord on its port side and exhaust in the back. So It Goes...
And it is going! It has been running for a bit over an hour (knock on wood!).
Tomorrow we will try to charge our 48V battery bank...
By the way... Gas is going up at St Croix Marine on Monday by 19 cents. Today's price (February 4th) was $3.65/gallon and the last time we bought gas on January 6th it was $3.35/gallon.
