It depends on the condition of your dilithium crystals.

Listers,

 

As some of you already know, we installed air conditioning on the Enterprise a 
couple of months ago. We are currently at the dock on Captiva Island and the 
cabin is a glorious 75 degrees.  According to the installer, at startup and 
maximum compression, the air conditioning on the boat will draw 1400 Watts. 

 

Years ago, when I repowered the boat with a new Beta 30 engine, I added a 120A 
alternator and a 2000W inverter, mostly so my wife can use her hairdryer when 
under way. 

 

My AC panel is switchable between Shore Power and the Inverter’ power. 

 

So here’s the question: Do you think it’s possible to actually run the air 
conditioning with the engine running? The math seems to work, but I am hesitant 
to give it a try. 

 

And, if it doesn’t work, what would actually happen? Are we talking a tripped 
breaker or something bad like alternator issues. 

 

Signed,

 

Clueless in Captiva. 

 

All the best, 

 

Edd
