All,
I’ve always wanted to have a setup like this, but, as part of it, put
the inverter in a locker or behind the instrument panel so the wires and the
big metal box are hidden. Does anyone have something like this set up? And, if
so, how do you power on the inverter?
Or do you have the inverter out and have a cord plugged into one of the
outlets that runs back inside to your shore/gen switch?
All the best,
Edd
