Listees, I need your advice. I want to install a 24v inverter on my boat. Right now I have two 8D batteries wired in series that run my bow thruster. I think I have a lot of excess battery power available since the thruster is seldom used, and when it is used its for a few seconds at a time. I want it to power the fridge/freezer units when the genset is not running. Can any of you recommend a good 24v inverter that I can install?

To run a compressor such as that found in a refrigerator, you want a true sine-wave model. Hard to make specific recommendations since you have not provided any specs on what you are trying to power. You need to know the running current, start-up current, and locked-rotor amps of your units. Also whether or not you will use a coordinating device to prohibit them from starting simultaneously. -Sean m/y Vector lying New Bedford, MA http://OurOdyssey.BlogSpot.com On 10/14/20 3:04 PM, Mike Sullivan via Trawlers-and-Trawlering wrote: > Listees, I need your advice.

Hi all, I have a buddy anchored off Cumberland Island with a dead port engine starter. Can anyone recommend a mechanic in the area to obtain a starter and install it? It is on a Hatteras 58 LRC like mine. Lucky guy has bow AND stern thrusters, so he is able to get the boat anywhere within reason. Thanks, Bob __________________________ Robert Calhoun Smith, Jr. M/V MARY KATHRYN Hatteras 58 LRC MTOA #4861 Annapolis, Maryland

There are boatyards in St Marys, GA and Fernandina, Fl, both just a few miles away. He might also consider having the starters rebuilt, maybe a less expensive option if an alternator/starter service facility in either location. Then there is Jacksonville, guaranteed to have a service facility for rebuilding or new, slightly farther south and easily within car distance. The folks in the yacht club at St Marys are often willing to help. *Rudy & Jill Sechez * *BRINEY BUG-a 34' Sail-Assisted Trawler * *850-832-7748* *www.trawlertrainingabc.com <http://www.trawlertrainingabc.com>* *Georgetown SC Southbound* <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Sat, Oct 17, 2020 at 9:48 AM R C Smith Jr via Trawlers-and-Trawlering < trawlers@lists.trawlering.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a buddy anchored off Cumberland Island with a dead port engine > starter. > > Can anyone recommend a mechanic in the area to obtain a starter and install > it?
