My boat is safely tucked away for the Winter and I'm already starting to think about Spring commissioning. My problem is that the boat is located at least 300 Ft. from the cloest electrical outlet. I do not want to have to lay out 300 Ft of extension cord to run the battery charger and power tools I'll use on the boat so I'm thinking about alternatives.
I figure the battery charger (3 bank) draws about 400 watts and I'm not sure about power drills, but I think a 1000 watt unit will do the trick. My question is am I better off using a 1000 watt 2 stroke generator or a 1000 watt inverter (I can park my pick up next to the boat and idle the engine while using the inverter). I was thinking generator at first but am now leaning towards an inverter due to less maintenance and no fuel/oil mixing.
I do not have any experience with inverters and would like some feedback.
Thanks,
Tom
