After very much research I have decided to benefit from a pure sine wave inverter. Look the TV (when ever we get one) and all computer equipment will love it, not to speak about anything which has variable speed. So the installation was relatively trouble free and I have been running the fridge for 5 days and everything seems alright. We couldn't really find out if everything is just 100% because my portable generator is not meant to supply enough power to the charger part of the inverter (as I was told the unit prefers a very clean signal and because of it's sofisticated wiring it does not like what a portable is capable). Anyway everything was fine except when the batteries were fully charged, the third phase was suppose to occur and it is called float. Well no matter how long I kept on the generator (remember we have no electricity on the dock) it just would not go into float. OK so yesterday I had to go to Chase park because the boat just needed to be washed from all the boatyard dust and dirt and sure enough when I connect to shore power everything works out fine and the third phase, float did occur. This made me happy because I certainly did not want any over charging happening. Love the new unit and going to use it all the time. And just that you know the portable is only for us to make hot water and emergency situations but really mainly it is for hot water. After swimming to shore Darlene likes to take a hot shower. When Pete the electrician looked at the unit he made a gesture as to what a cheap unit it was, he just doesn't get it. First it is not cheap (well it is not a 7 thousand dollar unit that's for sure) and it is light which I wanted so that I can put it anywhere on the boat easily and it is perfect for what we need it for. OK enough about all this. Times are tough and I am just so proud and happy that we are where we are.
