The 2nd 30A in will be for my hot water heater, and my Air Conditioning. (These might get split up once I run amp tests on all things in running) my house boat ran 3x this stuff off 2 30a in so I think I should be fine.

My DC will only run a few of the outlets and my nav equipment in the cockpit and my 12v lights.

Those must be some TV's to take 15A each. The most expensive TV I could find on Amazon uses 40W (3.3A).

Anyway, your design is sound. Very similar to what I run.

If you're planning to get away from the marina once in a while, I'd like to offer a couple of comments.

First, 12VDC is your friend. Run everything you can off that. I spent the extra $$ for a 12/120V fridge and don't regret a dime of it. All my lighting (except one accent light) is 12V.

The inverter powers all the outlets, so I can always plug in a toaster, microwave, coffee machine, vacuum cleaner, power tool or whatever.

Finally, I added a switch to allow me to run the water heater off either of the two 30A circuits. This minor (and inexpensive) mod is one of my favorites.

Depends how many hours a day you watch.

Even a microwave is doable if you just use for quick reheating

Well I guess I COULD use them both at once, but it would be pretty pointless since they're about 3' from each other and I use an apple lightening port for my TV source coming from my iPad or iPhone.

I need to write up a thread on my all in 1 internet, phone and TV workaround option. Sure I don't have all the shows and could hog my data. But for under $150/mo to have all those things is pretty reasonable! I was paying more in a house with bills split 4 ways before and don't miss the DVR enough to call Direct TV
