Aislin Girl has a hookup on the starboard side behind the rear portlight,one GFCI outlet to the starboard of the companionway ladder, and downstream from that two outlets on the port; one under the galley for the microwave and one for the countertop. Seems adequate for me..

Had AC in Lady Jo 1 and loved it!
No AC in Lady Jo 2 but will add it.

Destiny has AC and we could not live without it!

Add it properly and you'll love it!

- I think you should go for it. After you have finished, do a write up on what components you used and how it worked out. I hope to add shore power to the Alpha by next summer. It should make life at the dock more comfortable. Even though I would rather be swinging on a hook somewhere. :lol:
