Microwave and plugs not working when boat is not plugged in at dock?

We have the BBQ. It was our first night out in the boat and forgot a BBQ lighter #BlondeMoment. But I agree, much better coffee!!!
 
First order of business (yes, before you play with the toys all of us are suggesting): familiarize with your battery setup and how to manage it. Start with the original documentation for your boat and verify it's still working according to those specs; if it's not, document what's different and decide if it's optimal for the boating lifestyle you prefer.

For example, if you have 2 batteries on a selector switch, choose one battery or the other while you're anchored; don't set it to "both." That one will run the house while you preserve the other for starting the engine.

Please forgive if this sounds too elementary....I'm by no means a pro, but was lucky enough to boat with some more experienced folks--and find this forum--before getting my cruiser. I really appreciated having all the Cliff's Notes on things that seem basic but can make or break a day on the water!
We are just getting use to the 2 battery system, nothing like a bowrider lol we are still trying to learn the boat. We haven't broke a prope yet
 
Enjoy your new boat!

How about a propane Magma kettle BBQ? The Marine Kettle 2 version comes with a ring for cooking with a pot. Boil some water in a kettle, then make your coffee with a French press. Better coffee anyway!

Hmmm... seems like I heard that suggestion before, somewhere... :) Just having fun with you!
