Lee,
What kind of battery banks do you have? BTW, Nassau was where my friend
purchased his Yamaha Endura at a low price.

| monitor/control Link 1000, cost about $1300. The alternative is a stand
| alone inverter such as Xantrex Prowatt 1750, a Link 10 monitor and a
manual
| (Gen/Shore) switch, total cost about $625. The boat already has a modern
| 40A charger, in the beginning I will use the boat engine alternators for
| charging (2X 90A), I rarely plug into shore power. Solar panels, 400-500
| Watts are the future plan.
| Am I missing anything here? The only advantage I see to a big combo
inverter
| is the large 100A charger included, good for use with an onboard genset,
| which I don't plan on installing.
