Actually, I asked the doctors and they didn't even know how to think about
the problem.

I've tried asking the manufacturer but their 1st response was just their
standard instructions. Actually, I have a follow-up in a month or so and I
get to meet with a technical representative and I'm hoping to have some
measurements by then.

Given the time of year and the fact that I'll have few needs to enter the
engine room. Combined with the fact that I can just turn everything off.
(Presumption is that there is that there would be a minimal magnetic fields
with only a 12v active for lights - Anybody think this is a false
assumption?). I can spend some time to fully understand the problem and
resolution.

As I make progress I'll make sure to share that with the group as I cannot
believe I'm the only one with the question.

Thanks for the inputs,

Dave

Good Evenin' All,

I've just been fitted with a cardiac defribulator. This device comes with
instructions to avoid using cell phone in right ear and keep power-tools
12" away from the device. Seems the risk is that strong magnetic fields
may damage the programming and cause the device to reset.

I currently live on a 53' Carver and the engine room has a lot of
electrical equipment: 50A Charging / Inverter, 2*Starters / Transformers
on the engines and Generator. My concern is that there is the potential
for a sizable magnetic field in the engine room and I simply don't (short
of saving up a few pennies and getting a crew) know how to avoid or
manage the issue.

Questions:

1. Has anybody had to consider this problem? What it a problem?
2. Any clever way I can judge the strength of the magnetic fields?

Thanks,

Dave
