I was responding to the above statement and curious what qualified it as a marine unit. It also sounds like your friend might be installing it below deck given the hook up plans. If so, that would NOT be a good idea.

The portables are becoming very popular and there is and always will be a place for them but I wouldn't say nobody's running the old units anymore. There's countless units out there still in perfect operating order and being used all the time. Ya they're big but I can turn on every single load on the boat and then some like sharing power with my buddies that don't have one or powering up the hundreds of Christmas In June lights in the convoy.
It's all about your boating requirements. Just be safe about it!

I believe thats his plan to buy those accessories and mount it below deck, im not sure. I question where he would mount it its only 26ft, its 1 1999 Cruisers rogue, single big block, there cant be a ton of room, maybe he has other plans to have a mount on the swim platform or under a seat? I'll have to wait till spring to see
