I'd like to add a very basic inverter to our boat, something with only a single outlet. I just want it for the coffee maker in the morning and to occasionally charge a laptop. We have used a "portable" inverter for this in the past, but I hate the wires running all over the cabin.
My rough plan would be to mount it in the compartment behind the AC and DC panels then run the wires behind the bulkhead to where I want the outlet. I would add a breaker to my DC panel for it. Not sure of the best way to rig the ac wiring as the units I've been looking at have the AC outlets on the unit itself. Maybe put a male plug on some triplex? I'd like to spend $150 or less on it.
Any thoughts? Is this a dumb idea?
Thanks,
Doug
