Aside from the plug on the side of the boat which is pretty straight forward, I was looking into this automatic transfer switch:
http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?pat ... id=2360037I can plug my house battery bank/inverter into the switch and when I plug into shore power, it automatically transfers the 120v load off the inverter and I can power that down. The plan is to actually install a remote battery switch controlled in the cabin (future).
Question goes, if I want to power a charger off the shore power that's powered on whenever shore power is plugged in, I just basically connect the charger before the ATS?
PS, this is what will eventually control my inverter's power supply via. a switch in the cabin.
