http://www.outsidesupply.comWe recently had a customer at Outside Supply that was interested in adding a power inverter setup to his houseboat to reduce the overall run time on his generator. He was looking to power a few plasma TV's, computer, and other devices. We decided on a 3000 watt true sine wave power inverter setup for his installation. This would give him plenty of power and also keep his devices running on a true sine wave AC power source. He wanted the inverter to kick out of circuit automatically when the generator came on. So we added a transfer switch to his setup.

Below you will find a complete list of the items he ordered for his house boat:

There are several types of boats out there but I had a customer with a boat I think I would absolutely love to own and travel in. He purchased a boat about 20 years ago to travel up and down the intracoastal waterway and a few rivers. This boat has a small cabin aft, a galley, and a head. The boat is about 35 feet and not really fancy. He called Outside Supply the other day looking for a power inverter to replace a unit that he had purchased only a year before. The thing had already been warrantied twice and gave him quite a bit of trouble. It is not a large inverter, he only uses his inverter on the boat to run a TV and a laptop when the generator is not running or when he doesn't have shore power.

An OutsideSupply.com customer recently wanted to purchase an inverter for his houseboat/ Reserch boat. Seems as he was doing water quality testing using his house boat as a marine operations platform. He wanted a reliable, powerful, and clean inverter to power several computers and a couple of pieces of test equipment. He also wanted to be able to run their microwave and coffee pot if needed. (Long nights of research I guess require Caffeine and Junk Food!)

I have a customer for Outside Supply that is interested in adding an inverter charger to his J-22 sail boat. A J-22 is not a very large sail boat, but they are pretty fast boats in heavy weather. This customer wants to keep his boat light for racing but would like an inverter charger. He only wants to watch TV and use his DVD player.

There are many applications for solar in the Marine environment. It is nice to harness the power from the sun. A solar panel can allow boaters to replenish some of the power drained from your battery.
