I should think so after 116 years grin.
BTW:Where did you plug it in before the first car came along?

| I picked-up a 12 volt car vac from Pep Boys, and am quite happy with it.

| Hi folks,
|
| Just wondering what everybody uses to vacuum their boats. I know a
| small house vac is best when your docked, but what about extended
| times out on the hook?
|
| Thanks
