Generating AC power onboard

Many of the electrically powered devices on our boats can operate directly from 12 volt, DC battery power. Electronic instruments, autopilots, cabin lights, engine start, and many other devices use 12 volts. However these days our boats are filled with all sorts of modern equipment, from air conditioning, microwaves, TV, refrigeration, computers etc all of which require 120-volt, 60Hz shore power (US).
