The first item for repair is the 24VDC charger to handle the starting batteries. The current unit is a Sentry Series C converter from Marine Development Corporation. It’s been cooking the batteries in full charge mode since who knows when. A new Charles Model 5000 charger was ordered from OnLine Marine today.

One of the chores I always disliked was having to start up the GenSet each time the microwave was used. And now that I have nearly completed installation of the new refrigerator it became necessary to provide a means to generate 110 VAC while underway without using the GenSet. I was very lucky in that Captain Buddy of the trawler Puffin (a 46′ Kadey-Krogen) had a ProWatt 1750 inverter for sell.

You can usually find the wattage of most appliances stamped on the bottom or back of the appliance, or on its “nameplate.” The wattage listed is the maximum power drawn by the appliance. Since many appliances have a range of settings (for example, the volume on a radio), the actual amount of power consumed depends on the setting used at any one time.
