[Rhodes22-list] Xantrex 1500 Power Option

[Rob Lowe]

Michael,
A couple of questions.  How much power do you need on your boat (what do you
plan to power)?  Have shore power for recharge?  How would you manage the
Xantrex?  Transport back and forth from the house or leave on the boat?
Where would you stow it?  I've only got a single marine battery with an 11
watt solar panel which suits me fine, but then all I use power for is the
occasional use of the bilge pump and some running lights when I'm
occasionally out at dusk.  My biggest question is where would you stow it
where it would be secure and not in the way.
