Default 24 VDC appliances?

While I have not bothered to search, the selection of marine
equipment available in 24VDC must be very very small. Most
all little boats use 12VDC, most larger boats use
110/220/480VAC.


Many mid-size yachts (45-80 ft ) have dual 12/24 V systems. 12 V for
electronics that are low-power and often don't come in 24V versions,
24V for Bow/sternthrusters, windlasses, electrical winches etc. Mainly
too keep the cables reasonable.
