For the Stevenson Weekender I'm working on, I'm planning on having the
regular lights required and a small electric motor for getting in and out of
the ramp area. I will only be sailing in sheltered waters and reasonably
close to shore.

Does anyone have an opinion on this product?
Nautilus Booster Pack
http://www.canadiantire.ca/assortments/product_detail2.jsp?PRODUCT<>prd_id=845524443275936

The specs on it state:
a.. 800A heavy-duty marine booster pack
b.. 33AH deep-cycle battery, ideal for powering trolling motors
c.. Built-in 250 psi air-compressor, ideal for powering air
mattresses and sports equipment
d.. Digital battery status level indicator
e.. Includes detachable booster cables, storage bag
f.. Equipped with: compass, back-up red and green navigational
lights, and deep-cycle battery to sustain repeated deep discharge


The main thing I like about this unit is that I can use it for those 340
some odd days of the year that I'm not sailing

What? No freezer, dart board or playstation? No drinks caddy? No
mobile phone charger? No rain gauge? Forget it......
