    One more reason I chose to have a genset and use several small inverters
    around the boat to run things. I have a cold plate refrigeration system, so
    I have to run the genset 2-3 hours daily, and we do anything that requires
    electricity then if possible. Propane cooking takes care of a lot of the
    energy requirements. I can use the 12V TV if we just HAVE to watch
    something, and the little inverters take care of the rest. If one fails,
    pull out another.
