I have a Trace 2500 watt true sine wave inverter (later bought by Xantrex) and my inverter will cut out AC passthrough if the voltage is outside of the nominal by +/- 10%. In my unit you can change the setting to accommodate greater extremes and it includes meters to tell you what the input really is. I would look to your generator first and remember the better units have that protection built it to prevent you from frying sensitive electronics. Don't junk a good inverter/charger if it's doing its job. Perhaps a quick trip to the dock to plug in some good shore power would help.

Here is a picture of my unit

Good Luck
