Steve, Good points and I have thought it may not make sense. If the engine
alt. is not adequate to more than produce the neccessary amperage ,than it
makes no sense at all. I was guessing the genset burned closer to 1/2 gal. an
hour and I was thinking the inverter could run the micro as well. The
weather has broken and is getting warmer thankfully, looking foreward to summer
and crabs on the Sassafas !

Good to hear from you,

Pat
