Montego inverter

Just completed self install on new inverter on my 87 3257. Has anyone else installed one. Just curious, I have not used it for overnite yet, but it works! It is Xantrex freedom sw 2000 watt inv/ charger with remote panel. 8D battery 250 ah.

An inverter was installed on my Carver when I bought it. A 2000 watt continuous running off of two 6 volt deep cycle's in series.

Just had a survey done and had to move the inverter out of the engine compartment because it wasn't marine grade. Apparently it's a really big deal with the insurance companies if the boat blows up.

I mounted it under dinette seat where the a.c. return grill is.
Also drilled holes in side board for air flow. I also thought about that but found out it is not rated for ignition protection

There is only 1 inverter I know of that is ignition protected. It is very rare to find an ignition protected inverter/charge all in one unit. Almost all stand alone battery chargers are ignition protected where's almost no inverters are ignition protected.
