    Inverter

    Has anyone ever used a DC inverter in a G23? Do you know the max wattage I can get and not pop the cigarette lighter plug fuse?

    Most lighter plug inverters are not more more than 150 or 200 watts. If you need more wattage would get one that direct connects to the battery. they have all kinds of them at Harbor freight for reasonable prices.

      Look up the fuse/breaker size multiply the amp's by 12 and you have you a absulute maximum, I would stay 20% below.
      20 amp (240W) is common in a lot if boats.
      I tried to run a laptop on DC to 110V AC converter and it did not work. I had to run a good size cable directly to the battery and fused it with a 40A automotive in line fuse.

        Thanks. Boat is 3 hours away, so I didn't know what fuse they were using.
