[QUOTE="binky, post: 485158, member: 490"] sounds like you need a better inverter between gennny and electrical system, if you have a non-built in unit? Trouble with gennys is the output can be rough sine wave and lack stability hence the issues. I'm not overly familiar with boat electrics, but other possible options include:- 1/ true sine wave inverter 2/ some form of surge protection, similar to what you use to protect PCs 3/ batteries - useful if you want to add solar panels. Basically you charge batteries from genny then use decent sine wave inverter to output a smooth 240V. Also means you don't have genny running all the time. [/QUOTE]
