SIMPLE WAYS TO INSTANTLY REDUCE YOUR CONSUMPTION ON BOARD

■ Swap incandescent bulbs for LEDS, both above and below deck. Halogen bulbs heat up the interior as well as being a big drain on battery power.

■ Keep freezers and fridges full. Bring them down to temperature on the dock while still on shore power. Use bags of ice or frozen water bottles to fill gaps.

■ Turn off your inverter when not in use. Using it to boost battery output from 12/24V to 220V can sap your batteries very quickly.
