Balmar Model u2512sb ??

Was wondering if anyone out there may have information on this, Balmar Model u2512sb 2.5kw high efficiency power inverter? Just bought a 1993 Lagoon 37' with one on board that seems to be semi working (making clicking sounds even when hooked up to shore power). Cannot find a manual on board or on line and thought I'd throw it out there in the hopes that someone else has some knowledge.

U2512SB was the same model number as a 2.5kW inverter/charger made by Trace at the time your boat was made.

Perhaps it was rebranded/sold by Balmar? Does it look like this:

Yes, we had one and it was very good. Trace were exceptional engineering in those days - some of the best in the world. We sold ours only because we wanted a pure sine wave inverter.

These are line-frequency inverters, and can be repaired at board level if wanted (and found someone to do it). You can get the manuals on-line.
