3. Inverter  

 

There is a 2000W inverter installed which will allow the use of 110V appliances when no 

shore power is available.  The remote panel is located under the nav desk. 

 

To use the inverter: 

1.

 

Start the yacht's engine; bring the rpm up to 1400 in Neutral 

2.

 

Move the 110V selector switch from ‘Shore’ to ‘Inverter’ 

3.

 

Press the ‘On/Off’ button on the inverter panel below the nav desk. A red light will then 

illuminate. 

4.

 

On the 110V panel, ensure the main and outlet breakers  are switched on; leave the 

water heater switch off. 

5.

 

All the 110V outlets are now live.   

 

Always ensure that you have switched the inverter off by checking that the light  on the 

panel is no longer illuminated.  Leaving the inverter on will cause your batteries to rapidly 

lose their charge. 

 

 

 

 

                             

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Press this button to 

turn the Inverter On 

and Off
