I would like to add a 1000 or so inverter. Where would be the best location? I should add that it would be used in the galley. Has anyone added one? I would like it to be out of sight.

I added a 1000 watt inverter in my aft cabin, i mounted inside the cabinet at the foot of the bed, this kept the cables to the battery short and i added 4 outlets hooked to the inverter one in the galley one behind my tv one in the storage shelf under the stairs and one up at the helm. I love it gets used every time iam out

Bliss will give you some great details. He installed a larger charger/inverter in his 268 that I will try to copy from!
