Customer Adds Inverter to 80 Foot House Boat

2008-05-26T04:20:37Z

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: ]]>

Boat Power Inverter

2007-10-02T03:40:50Z

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. ]]> Go Power 300 Watt Sine Wave 12 Volt inverter for his Boat! Happy Cruising! Follow up: He called me the other day and said he has used this inverter for over 1 month on 2 separate trips. He has not even had a single issue with quality or reliability. his picture is clean and his sailing is smooth.

Power Inverter for Houseboat

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!) ]]> Inverter: 2000 watt Go Power Pure Sine Wave Transfer Switch: Go Power 30 Amp Transfer Switch Install KIt: Power Inverter Install Kit for 2000 Watt to 2500 watt 12 volt Inverters.

Small Marine Inverter Charger

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. 500 watt inverter charger for Sailboat. So now he can have many nights of TV and DVD watching while waiting to race on his sailboat.]]>

Marine Solar Battery Maintainer

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.]]> Marine section on Outside Supply. There will be a tab to cover the Marine Solar Panels available. For battery maintainers. Look at the current drain from daily use, then calculate the solar required to replenish the battery in 1 day. It is always best to account for weather and area when calculating solar output. For those who hate calculating everything, I would start with a 5 watt panel and add 5 watts at a time until you have achieved a balance with your battery. We recommend charge controllers for 10 watts of solar panels and above.
