as long as it's marine rated..should be ok.....

1000 wts isn't going to be alot of pwr ...that's for sure...you figure a hair dryer runs on 1800 wts....

SP. I purchased a 700W inverter last night at West Marine for $98. I'm only using the inverter to run a 26" lcd/dvd combo TV. The power comsumption for the TV is 120 watts. Do you think I need more?

well..if your running 120 watts....and you have a 700wt inverter...you still have 580 watts left....you should be fine..but it probably won't run a microwave oven...

A 1000W inverter should power a 800w Microwave but it will need to be a pure sine wave inverter not the modified square wave type and the simpler oven the better.

just using it for the TV. I'm having the installation done on Saturday. I'll let evryone know how it worked.

Thanks
