I know this is a total newb question and I've been hesitant to ask, but here goes...
We're planning on purchasing a 35' - 40' aft cabin style diesel for a summer cruise up and down the intracoastal. We're planning on mostly traveling and anchoring during the week and staying in marinas(shore power) during the weekend.
While our engine is running, will it also be able to run the boat's electric system? ie, our refrigerator, a/c, and outlets?
Or, does the diesel generator also need to be running while underway? Can the generator run while underway? Is it ok for the generator to run 24/5?
Thanks!
