Thanks. I was thinking of a small unit from West Marine. Did you buy a
West-branded unit or something else? My AC loads will consist of an IPOD
boom box (low current draw), my laptop (rarely), and perhaps a cell
phone or camera battery charger. That kind of stuff.- Hide quoted text -

Without running over to the marina to check for sure, I'm almost
certain it was a West Marine branded item. I suppose if I'd had any
problem with it I would have paid more attention to the brand. :-)

I have several of the small West Marine inverters and they work just
fine for the type of devices that Harry mentions. There is really no
need to hard wire them either since the loads are small enough you can
power it via a lighter plug adapter.
