12-Volt Booster Packs
Wal-Mart's EverStart booster delivers a lot of cold cranking amps for the money, but lacks a light. The versatile Xantrex Powerpack 300 Plus, is a do-it-all booster and a good choice for smaller boats.

DC-to-AC Power Inverter Test
We gave our 30-amp shore cord a rest for a while as we tested six of the most popular 2000-watt DC power inverters in the marine market.

A Reader's Review: RayTech RNS 5.0
