dedicated double socket, but they will be hidden. A flip of the
switch will have the inverter replace the shore power, ...

Care to elucidate on the wiring for this?

I haven't installed it yet, so I haven't worked it out. When installed, the two
aft sockets will work with the inverter. Suzanne's blow dryer is 12v anyway.

After 8 years, I strike a rock which is charted, because I misjudged my
distance from Potters Field. What's more is that I admit to making this silly
error.

If I recall correctly, there was an observer aboard who posts here. We have no
idea how many rocks were hit and not reported here.

My boat doesn't have any power at present, although
I'll probably want to add that somewhere down the line. Since the marina has
shore power, it would be good to have an idea of how things connect up.

With such a small boat I wouldn't bother with this. Simply run an extension
cord for what you need. Ghost (My pearson 30) had a heavy duty cord that ran
right through a vent and that worked fine.
Alien has a pretty complex power system for such a small boat, but the inverter
was never installed.

A chart kit is not a 'chart'. It's a scaled down version of a chart.
You said charts which means NOAA govt. charts. For example
the NOAA chart for Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands is numbered
25640 scale 1:326,856.L.I.S. would be 123__. Fill in the last
two numbers please

Another case of Booby lying?

I don't think I'd go as far as onboard mains power, but I'd very much like
to fit nav lights at least, so some sort of shoreside charging system would
be good. I'd rather think ahead and install a 12V system that's capable of
running some other kit further down the line (a depth sounder springs to
mind, and maybe a fixed VHF).
I guess it's natural to extrapolate and want to add an inverter to run the
laptop (though not essential - I'm unlikely to buy into all that electronic
chart stuff for the sailing I expect to do with this boat).

But you stated you did only "spot checks" through the entire trip because
you forgot to buy batteries .. which now you claim to have bought but lost.
The best was when you claimed a cross track error of 1 mile... which would
require a waypoint... which you claim you didn't enter because you were
doing "spot checks" to confirm a plot that you claim wasn't done because the
navigation was all line of sight.

Cripes Bob... do try and get your story line straight... this yarn of your's

Fitting nav lights and a single 12v battery, such as a smaller group 24 will be
easy. You could also go with a larger grp. 27 and a small guest charger
hardwired in, so you just plug her in at day's end.
We have a laptop with DVD, but have been using the TV instead. The laptop
actually has a bigger screen and uses less power, but the tube set is easier to
use overall.
