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.
He only wants to watch TV when he waiting on races or looking at the weather. He explained that some of the sailboat races require him to sail over to another yacht club where he may or may not have power. He has power at his dock, so recharging his battery would be easy. He has also had problems with low voltages before in the marinas. So he wants one with a built in transfer switch.
Go Power makes the almost perfect product for him. It is the Go Power 500 Watt Inverter Charger. It is almost perfect because it lacks GFCI. But he was able to pick up a couple in-line GFCI plugs from his local big box depot and was able to protect his shore power line and his inverter output.
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.
