    Inverter upgrade on 38.1, model year 2018

    I recently purchase a 2018 Beneteau 38.1. The boat came with a factory stock microwave oven and a 700 Watt Marinco Inverter. The Marinco inverter would immediately trip the inverter so I assumed the 700 Watt inverter was overloaded and not enough to power it. I’m at a loss to understand why...

    Hunter 380 Inverter/Charger replacement

    My Freedom 20 that came with the boat only puts out 90 volts when inverting. I'm looking at 2000w replacements, but the space under the port settee is limited. Magnum and Go power pure sine inverter/chargers are two I've been looking at. They are bigger than the Freedom 20. The installation...
