[December 12, 2006]What to look for in: Generators.INVERTER OR GENERATOR?
Inverters change the DC power of the boat's batteries into AC power. They're compact and quiet but limited in output by the size of your bank of batteries and by the alternator's ability to keep up with the draw. Battery capacity should be at least three times the expected need between charges. Use inverters for short-term items such as coffeemakers and microwaves. Boats without air conditioning and loads in the 1,000-to-3,500-watt range can get by with inverters. However, for greater and longer power demands you will need a generator.

[December 1, 2003]Porta-CoolyWhen I cruised in Boating Magazine's Scout 242 Abaco to Martha's Vineyard one weekend, I was glad I had a Cruisair Carry-On portable air-conditioner ready for testing. The temperature was a balmy 90 degrees, and every amenity pays exponential dividends in comfort.

Our 5 year old Maltese loves boating in Annapolis and the surrounding tributaries... or anywhere for that matter. If he even thinks that we're headed out on the boat he's at the door before we pack the cooler. As you can see from the photo we have made a PFD manditory on all boat outings thanks to one small course correction mishap when he was 2, but he still wouldn't have any other seat on the boat than front and center - even at 30+ knots. Love the magazine and love this section every month.
Best, Craig |
