A well insulated cooler and a couple of bags of ice available at any port or marina would be a better benefit. and I'll drop back to one 8- D and one automotive battery and go back with a smaller and lower powered alternator for better efficiency due to less drag and flywheel effect. still gotta have the microwave and coffee maker, though. I'll get it figured out I like simple.... a good cooler and ice... if I need to, there is a local grocery store with dry ice! (I mix the two... dry ice will freeze EVERYTHING.) It seems to me that Tim would be a lot better off with a simple Honda or Yamaha unit that produces the amount of 'lectricity he needs to run the microwave, coffee maker, hot plate, et cetera, and with a good cooler that could keep ice icy for a few days. Well, a small generator is a neat concept but having one inboard in my boat would add to the clutter not counting the fumes etc. At least that's what I'm envisioning. Yeah, constant noise (but they are quiet), refilling, carrying extra fuel, fumes, tripping over it, extension cords. Yuck. A couple bags of ice seem like the ticket, unless you go with a real fridge and permanent wiring. Oh I'm still going with the battery/isolator/invertor but it's a tosover refrigeration. now concerning a portable generator... Well, i suppose i could strap it onto the swim platform.... right next to the extra jerry cans full of gas. ==== Ya know Tim, I was half-assed considering refrigeration for my sailboat but following the on topic portion of this discussion has talked me out of it. I'll stick with ice. |
