Installing 2000w inverter
Folks - I read the interesting thread relative to inverters from 2015 but was thinking there's been a lot of improvements in inverters just like everything else electrical/electronic these days. I have a 475 amp house battery bank and 2 - 104w solar panels so I've got enough power to run one. I'm thinking a 2000w, pure sine wave inverter that I can "hard-wire" into the boats 120VAc system, in theory supplying AC power to all of the installed AC receptacles. So my questions revolve around which is a good brand inverter to buy, were to mount it (I have a dedicated starting battery on the aft wall of the port settee) and how difficult is it to install. I've looked at the Xantrex brand but am open to most any. Thanx so much, Jim

Re: Installing 2000w inverter
Jim,
Part of the "smart answer" has to include whether you have a "smart charger". If not, going with a PSW inverter with built in smart (3 stage) charger should be on the short list.
