I had thought about the capacitor but wasn't sure if it would help much
with the really big current loads which are all motors (bilge, toilet,
fresh water, gray discharge etc.). Would a 100uF cap actually be enough
to cope with such a large inductive load?

The steady state load for all the inductive loads is around 7 amps with
obviously a initially high startup load (around 10+ amps). From the
postings I get the impression that it is breaking the circuit that is
the issue with current rating and in these cases the norm current will
be well below the 125V AC rated current.

The mainly resistive loads (halogen lighting) has a high startup current
also when cold. A cap could help here I guess.

I guess I will try them and see how it goes. The only real reason I want
to use these is that they are round and therefore easy to mount in a panel.

Thanks for you help everyone.
