Just go in an ask for a 12 volt power supply. Tell them what you are trying
to
do. Incidently, the power supplies they have at a cost you will probably
like won't allow you to transmit on SSB except at very low power. By the
time you turn on a few "boat lights" and both radios, you may not be able to
transmit on VHF either. But, as you said earlier, you don;t need to
transmit.

I realize this about transmitting, same holds for a SSB on Marine
channels. Doesn't mean I can't listen however


Just curious, do you know the model number of the Radio Shack converter
you used?
