At the boat show I noticed more and more boats are now coming with a microwave fitted.

I don't know about you guys, but we never used our gas oven, it was not big enough to roast a penut in it. Even grilling toast was a major exercise of turning the bread round and round to get an even covering.

Anyway, we decided to pull the oven out and fit a microwave in its place, plus reducing weight in the boat, we may now reach 26.2 knots! the .2 is the extra bit.... /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Cant agree. Electric is about the most difficut thing to generate on a boat. Also very noisy. It pisses me of when moored next to an antisosial all electric boat. Gas is Very cheap and a bottle lasts for ever. Also quiet and trouble free. Good form of heating when all else fails too. I have a micro wave, 20 odd quid from ASDA. Cant say it ges used much though........../forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Thats a neat job. Looks good.

In the Regal 2460 there is a slot to house a microwave from there Options list.
My friend bought this boat last year, with no microwave in it, he has been looking for ages, but all the microwaves are far too deep. Height and width is not a problem, only the depth. Did you have this problem, and can anyone suggest a supplier?
He can buy one from Regal, but refuses to pay £450 for it.

Cheers

We (well when I say we I really mean she) uses our Microzapper all the time. We (I mean she) makes stuff at home and then reheaats it, tastes jolly good most of the time.

How do you find the battery consumption? Does it drain the battery?

We only have it on mains at the moment. We may be sorting an inverter soon to work off battery.

To be honest with our cruising we generally are on a mains supply or near a pub or place to eat. If not we plan the food accordingly.

£65? Don't think so, mate. Assuming an 800W microwave, you'd want at least 1000W inverter, and more like 1500W to cover the start up surge, so £210+VAT, and a lot of very thick cabling... And maybe a bigger domestic battery bank.

Regards microwaves it has been said,to test for microwave leaks if your mobile phone can take an incoming call signal whilst in the oven with the door closed that might not be the best model ?

Shame there isn't a mobile phone test for gas leaks, much more dangerous! Maybe there is a test, perhaps arcing the battery terminals with a paper clip would ....BANG!

Re: NO COOKER !!!!!!!!

How you going to have a brew up for gawds sake.And if no tea that means no soggy chocolate biscuits to secretly dunk when no one else is on board.
for pitys sake man reconsider your rash decision.
And no electric kettle can call you down below with the same joyful whistle of a gas powered kettle,hinting at the pleasure to come.

Re: NO COOKER !!!!!!!!

I guess I will just use the gas hob. I have only removed the oven as it was pointless, so I now have a gas hob and microwave under it. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Perhaps I should have taken the pics with the hob lid up instead of down....

Re: NO COOKER !!!!!!!!

True. I retract. The whistle of an old tin kettle on gas stove is indeed a desirable boatie feature. All boats need gas.
