[C320-list] Charger Inverter suggestions

[Pat Moriarty]

I put a cheap modified sine wave inverter on my boat and the micro 
takes forever but the coffee pot works fine. I just don't run it for 
very long and don't run the motor at the same time and have not had a 
problem with the stock alternator but we just day sail with only an 
overnighter once in awhile
