Arrives before Christmas 
If you keep tripping breakers, this ActiveStart fixes that. It helps you run two marine AC units and shields your entire boat from surges. If one circuit fails, the other keeps you cool. Monitor your vessel's power in real time from your phone.
A soft start device reduces the initial inrush current when an AC compressor kicks on. Instead of that harsh power spike that can trip breakers or overload generators, the soft start gradually ramps up the compressor's motor, making it easier to start an AC unit on limited power sources (like small generators, shore power, or inverters).
Not only will this device reduce your startup power demand by up to 70 percent, it's going to make your AC startup quieter, and reduce wear on the compressor. Plus, you get to skip the complicated install and dealing with wiring. Just plug ActiveStart into your vessel's shore power or generator connection using the included dogbone and ground-neutral plug. You'll have safe, reliable power and cool air in less than a minute wherever you dock.
When summer heat hits hard, two air conditioners make all the difference. Designed for 50-amp boats, ActiveStart can start and run two air conditioners at the same time. Redundancy just means there are two independent circuits inside the device. Each one handles one leg of your 50-amp vessel power cord. If one circuit fails, the other keeps working so you don't lose all your power or air conditioning and can stay comfortable out on the water.
Built-in surge protection guards your entire boat against voltage spikes of up to 5,250 joules, shielding all connected appliances and electronics from harm. To get the full benefits of redundancy and surge protection, make sure you're plugged into a 50-amp marine service.
The Bluetooth mobile app makes it easy to check real-time voltage and status for your vessel's power system. View and adjust settings right from your phone for added control and peace of mind.
