[Rhodes22-list] Inverter

[Michael Weisner]

Hi Mark,I installed a 200W unit screwed to the ceiling of the cabin, next to my VHF, above the galley, near the entrance from the cockpit. The device works reasonably well providing AC and USB receptacles. Be sure to leave space behind the fan for cooling.  It interferes with the AM/FM reception (USB music player time). The product is on Amazon for $20 (200W Car Power Inverter 12V DC to 110V AC Converter with 3.1 A Dual USB Quick Car Charger Adapter). It comes with a cigarette lighter plug if you do not wish to hard wire into the electrical system. Be careful not to run down the battery while using it (at full power it draws 20A!)Mikes/v Wind Lass '91Nissequogue, NY
