Current draw of Coleman Polar Cub air conditioner

Hi Guys, talking about starting loads on the Honda 1000. There is a guy on the iboats forums that uses a Honda 1000 to run a regular thru the window 8000 BTU AC. That should give hope to people with the Honda 1000 that want to run larger AC units.

I went to Best Buy and Sears last night looking at AC units. I looks like the most energy efficient 8000 BTU AC's they sell have an EER rating of 10.8. That means a running load of 740 watts or 6.73 amps. I don't know what the starting load is. I doubt they spend the money on capacitors to make the starting load less.

Bill
