Other than instruments, VHF, and a DVD movie here and there on a
little player, I don't really use any power, so a pretty small solar
panel, coupled with limited amounts of motor sailing usually leaves me
with a surplus.

Running a god sized chart plotter and radar underway can use as much
as 20 to 30 amps of 12 volt power. I stand by my original statement
that outboards are not suitable for serious cruising.
