seeing I dont' think the 300w will even allow it to start. I'll put
amp draw meters in the 12v. line to see how much it pulls from the
battery including the inverter.

Kinda like to know myself.

Be sure and take notes so you can let us know what happened.

Yes. I'm betting that it will run on your 300 watt inverter just
fine. We have run several different "under the counter" fridges from
inverters with no problem at all.

for my purposes, it would be a draw in weight, finances and energy.
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.

Using ice is problematic for a lot of different reasons. Consider one
of these instead:

http://www.amazon.com/Engel-AC-Fridg.../dp/B001DE45EY

They run on either AC or 12v DC and use very little power, In
addition they can be either a fridge or a freezer, and have some uses
around the home or in your car/truck. We bought two prior to our
Caribbean cruise last year and they've been completely trouble free.
At homke we use them when entertaining on the patio.


I haven't even peeked in here in about a week and this is the only
boating related post I've come across so far, so I guess congratulations
are in order.

I use ice coolers on both of my boats. They seem to work well enough for
my day trips up here in the polar regions of Long Island Sound. I have a
small Igloo cooler I take aboard on my lake boat, and a larger, better
cooler I take out on my fishing boat. I have been known to double
plastic bag fish I've caught and put 'em in the food cooler. Yes, I have
done that. Sue me.

You've giving the non-boating morons here too much info. Next thing you

Projecting? You really are a daffy little ****, aren't you, and, of
course, a liar to boot.

I never stalked anyone to a marina, or took pictures of such. If you are
referring to MadCow, the crazy woman who used to post here, she kept her
boat at a dock right at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, an area
frequented by thousands and thousands of boaters in the Bay area. The
photos to which you refer were photos the woman herself took and posted
to her power squadron's web site.

At least they were photos of her boat. Those photos and facilities
descriptions you have on your "web design/hosting for sale" website?
Those aren't your facilities, those aren't your people, and that isn't
your equipment. You're committing commercial fraud.
