- Albin 36' Express Trawler
Good Morning.....I have a couple of questions...thought someone with more experience may be able to help out. Newer to us Albin 36' express trawler. We have a Pro-Mariner 2500w inverter/charger and a 7.6kw Westerbeke genset. Spent the night at anchor the other night for the first time and we wanted to see if everything works. First...I ran a few things off the inverter. tried the microwave and it popped something in the inverter and shut down.....after about 5 min the inverter came back on line. Fired up the genset and made sure the switches were correct, but the microwave was still trying to run off the inverter and popped it again.
This is our first boat with a generator....with the shore power turned off and the generator switch turned on....shouldn't everything 120v run off the generator and not the inverter?
Thanks for any help and let me know if I need to clarify anything.
