Yamaha 3000 IESB generator

Does anybody have one...... I'm looking for reviews. How do they start in the cold?

I have the 2000 and love it! Very quiet, fuel efficient and always starts on one or two pulls. You can not go wrong with a Yamaha.

+1 on the 2000 watt Yamaha, this will be my 3rd season, works great!

I like my Yamaha 2000 so much I am buying a spair.

I run mine 24/7 for 40 days straight on the ice.

Glad everybody likes there 2000s... I was going to buy one until I came across this great deal for the 3000. I have been reading reviews and some talk about a hour meter. Does anybody have one on there unit?

[The_King48]

Can I use my flasher while running the unit? IF I can remember right I thought I got interference while running a generator while using electronics.

I don't have any issue using my honda with vexilar

[The_King48]

Which transducer do you use?

What are the decibels on the 2000 yammies? I think Hondas are 51

I added a Yamaha hour meter / tachometer to my 2000 watt Yamaha. I think I paid about 35 bucks for the meter and it was easy to install.

I also have the 2000 which will be on it's 3rd season. Love it, runs quiet, starts on second pull. I think it runs at the same decibel level as the Honda if I'm not mistaken. Never had any interference problems with other electronics.

The decibles on the Yammy are the same as the honda. Actually in one test I read 2 decibles less. I have ran it side by side with a Honda 2000 and I thought mine was a fraction quieter, but both are very quiet. When mine is idling with a small load it can hardly be heard. I also have the Hour meter. all you do is wrap they wire around the spark plug wire very easy to install. I have 175 hours on mine so far and it hasn't missed a beat. What kinda stuff are you running in your ice house that you need a 3000. I would only buy the 3000 if you need that much power as the 2000 will use quite a bit less fuel and be easier to carry around.

2 to 3 decibels is a lot

I have portable AC unit that I use in the summer. I would like to do some more remote "camping". I would like ac and satellite tv for the kid when we are going to crash for the night.
