The PO located my inverter on a shelf at the forward end of the lazarette. It doubles as a battery charger. It has a power switch on the back that you can reach through the lazarette, but mostly I leave it on and control it through the remote control which is mounted near the breaker panel. I think it's 2kw, big enough for your wife's hair dryer. It runs my automatic espresso machine just fine. I can look up make and model if you'd like. Bill Hall 1985 C&C 37 Starfire Stamford, CT
