    i would not put that on a charter boat they (the lovely charterers) will
    kill your batteries rather quickly
     
    keep things SIMPLE
    and yes i know the inverter will switch off when it gets down to a certain
    voltage but lots of other things wont.

    so install one of the battery saver switches. They disconnect the entire DC
    load circuit if the battery voltage goes too low.
    Geeze what a poor excuse for avoiding having some real convenience on
    board. If there is a technical problem there e is always a technical solution to
     match.

    i still think you want to keep things SIMPLE if these devices are so good
    why do all the charter boats not have them?
     
    every item you put on board a charter boat is just something else to go
    wrong or need maintenance
     
    technical problems in the caribbean are SERIOUS issues and finding someone
    who is technically competent to fix it or even trouble shoot any technical
    problems is not that easy.
     
    just because this is your area of expertise it does not follow that this
    device will be understood out there.
     
    sounds like NEVER SEEN ONE OF THESE BEFORE lets bypass it or remove it -
    gosh that has fixed it - and off the charterers go.
     
    SORRY i for one dont buy your solution
     
    regards
