[C38] A/C power

[Chuck Finn]

I wired a 2500 watt inverter into the top of each outlet in the boat.  
Bottom of outlet is still 110.   Pretty easy as you only have to break 
the connecting tangs, BUT! it  meant I had to string wire.  I like it 
because I just cannot make a mistake (did that once already and it 
wasn't pretty).
