Default Power inverter
Any suggestions on what size of power inverter for me to add to my boat? Looking at running a tv, DVD, a microwave, maybe a fan. The plan is to run a dual battery set up with an isolator and onboard charger. Boat is set up for shore power already

    Here is a guide to power usage on most items Nik.

    I think I would at least multiply the total watts used for all items by 1.5 to be safe.

    I'd be looking in the 2000-2500 watt range.
