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...
I currently have a Xantrex Freedom Marine charger/inverter on my Hunter 460. Periodically when AC power is coming in (connected to shore power or running the generator) all of the AC powered devices in the boat shut off. To get everything back on I have to take my open palm and slap the top of...

When running on shore power (i.e. plugged into the wall), everything is normal. When I unplug from...
Recently I attended a information session with Nigel Calder detailing replacing your generators with new marine technology that uses your main engine instead. It totally makes sense but I think the cost at this time makes it feasible for only larger boats with high energy needs. Below is a link...
