      I installed a Heart Marine Combi 12-15 (1500 Inverter capability) this past
    summer. Heart has some problems with EMI/RFI in their gear (all of their grear
    that has an oscillator), and the charger/inverter is no exception. You may be
    bothered by the 60 hz. growl radiated from the ac wiring in the boat. They do
    have a fix for it..at your expense, you need to add a Corcom filter to the AC
    output lines, as it leaves the charger/inverter. This is a rather large device
    that would be better suited to be installed inside the cabinet of the
    charger/inverter in my opinion. It sure would make the AC wiring neater and
    easier to route etc.

    Cheers!
