My boat is a 2002 460 DA, and try as hard as I might, I am totally unable to run any new cables from the engine room or helm area through to the Saloon.
I would like to fit an Inverter to provide AC voltage to the sockets that power my Televisions, so that when staying overnight in an anchorage and without shore power, Television and or a DVD can be watched without the need to run the Generator.
My thoughts now are to put a small invertor in the Saloon connected to the 12 volt DC Cables that are run to the Distribution Board in the Saloon, my concern is, how big are those 12 volt cables at the back of the DB and would they support a 350 watt 12 / 220 volt invertor?
My boat is 1,000 miles from me at the moment, that is why I need someone to advise.
many thanks
