Once again, another question related to an 8 week
charter sailboat trip on '15 400S2 through the
Caribbean Leeward Islands.
I am wondering if I can effectively
power a
low power (700 watt, manual dial for time/temp) microwave on the
boat, or for that matter other similar small kitchen
appliances such as Nutribullet blender. As information, the
boat has
inverter and 110v outlets, 7.5kW
generator and A/C, though I don't know the exact specs on the
generator or specifics about
battery banks (other than probably just base standards).
The owner of the
charter boat has said that other "similar" boats have simple countertop microwaves installed, so clearly its possible. Owner doesn't know enough about the boat to know whether the
electrical system of his boat allows for that, so I'm asking of this board. Its unlikely I'll know any more details before I must make a decision to
purchase and carry a M/W or Nutribullet to BVIs. (That cost/effort for me is relatively insignificant.)
Disclosure: I am NOT an electrician and don't understand anything about wattage/amp load/etc - thus the questions!
