Shore power receptacle

placed in the cockpit well, we have an inverter on board as well. It is a small boat but with the advent of some of these sophisticated electronics it would have seemed a pity not to have the boat with 120 on board. Even if just to allow one to stay connected on the net. It does introduce all kinds of other factors like stray galvanic activity. This can be a major problem when in a marina. Dave put a galvanic isolator on board and hopefully this will assist. There is also provision made for a solar charger which can keep the batteries topped up even when one is away from the baot and still eliminate the need for shore power connection.
