Tom,
You could use a common 12v dc to 120v ac inverter supplied by however you are taking care of your 12v house loads.
What are you going to have on your boat that needs 12a at 120v? That's quite a bit of power, probably more than the propulsion motor will pull at cruising speed.

Subject: [Electric Boats] 48VDC-120VAC inverter
I've been building a 21' x 7'x 21" electric launch on and off for the past year, and am finally getting to the point where I need to sort out the electrical system.
I will be running a 48V system, and am considering having AC power available on board for small loads. No need for more than 1.5 KW output or true sine wave output.
Has anybody seen a 48V input inverter that would suit my needs? Yhe ones I've seen available are intended for much larger applications than mine, and cost far more than a 2KW Honda generator. I would like to avoid a generator, but maybe there is no alternative.
Thanks for your suggestions,
Tom
