    Agree

    Skip the inverter and use the money elsewhere.

    Boats have a limited power supply and power inverters are anywhere from 50-90% efficient, depending on load, but never 100% so you always waste some of that limited power supply.

    The above aerator suggestions are a much better way to go from a power conservation viewpoint.

    Grab one of the small Lithium rechargeable batteries used for ice fishing if you worried about the start battery or increase the size of the start battery if space allows.

    Good Luck

    I use a FRABILL magnum bait station. It has a cigarette lighter plug in which works on my boat (Tracker) and doesn’t affect the batteries at all. I also purchased the 110v power cord so I can take the bait station off the boat and plug it in overnight or longer. I like Cray would err away from additional electricity (inverter) on the boat. I have started carrying a battery pack jump starter in the boat after I left my key on for hours last fall and killed the battery. I was thankful that I had a 24 volt TM to get back to the ramp on but I couldn’t trim the outboard up and had to do that manually by hand. Needless to say it was dark and I had to strip down to my skivies and wade in the water to trailer the boat. It was a cold Ohio fall evening but it all turned out ok, just put the experience in my mind and learned a few things.
