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.
He explained how much trouble this inverter was with lines in his TV and also he noticed how hot his laptop charger got when running off of the inverter. I advised him that I thought he would be better served with a small true sine wave inverter that would give him clean pure sine wave AC power.
When I told him the price, he was very pleased expecting that a high quality inverter would be much more expensive. I advised him when it comes to boats, quality is often less expensive than a cheap price.
He agreed and he purchased the 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.
