I am not a big believer in cruse generators, at least for our size boat.
In a larger boat maybe, since it supplies redundancy.
If I had too light of a load on my generator, say while sleeping, I'd move the load to the inverter.
Then to insure the batteries don't go flat overnight I'd use an autostart controller on my generator. This would be tied to a battery State of Charge meter.
When the batteries dipped to 50% the generator would start. When they reached say 90% the generator would shut down.
