Mirage Manufacturing Chooses Xantrex for Reliable Performance For more than 45 years, family-owned Mi- rage Manufacturing has continued to build innovative custom boats at the same loca- tion, with the same phone number and the same owners. During this time, founder Ken Fickett and his wife Becky have weathered the storms of the industry and are now joined in the business by their two adult chil- dren, Travis and Jessica. Mirage has remained successful through a focus on applying the best technology into user-friendly, high value products. Sticking to that formula has allowed them to shift within the industry from a leading manufac- turer of high performance sailboats to ultra- efficient, high-performance sportfishing boats and some of the most ruggedly-built pleasure trawlers ever produced. A game-changer Since the inception of the Great Harbour Trawler line, Mirage has remained commit- ted to an all-electric galley fitted with full- sized home-style appliances. In years past, such conveniences would have required cruisers to start the genset before being able to cook on the range or in the oven. The Mirage Great Harbour Design Team solved the problem with the addition of Xantrex Freedom SW 3000 inverters to the boat’s power system, taking advantage of the ca- pability to series stack and supply extremely clean 240-volt power. “The ability to pair the Freedom SW invert- ers and supply 240 volts to a live-aboard vessel has been a game-changer in achiev- ing silent power and dramatically minimizing generator run times,” says Ken Fickett. “The paired SW inverters negates much of the requirement for generator use, and when batteries do need to be charged, the dual inverters provide the necessary amperage for recharging modern large battery banks with nearly 300 amps of clean, smart 12-volt charging current.” When it comes to electri- cal systems, the Mirage Design Team speci- fies Xantrex for all of its inverter needs.

This is a super-lightweight, trailerable trawler in which every pound saved would prove critical to achieving performance goals. There was no option of installing an oversize generator with a maximum output that would only be called upon for momen- tary starting loads of equipment such as the air conditioning. The answer is the Xantrex SW 3000. This unit can handle the starting loads with its Gen Support feature, which engages when AC loads exceed the generator’s capac- ity. The Gen Support feature significantly reduces the genset ampacity requirement, and allows for the use of a smaller genset. In addition to realizing significant weight sav- ings, the cost savings of being able to install a smaller genset actually pays for the Xan- trex! Mirage has always focused on ease of use for the end consumer, which makes the ability to control all functions of the Xantrex system from a clear, concisely-configured user panel icing on the cake.

Industry-Leading Product Safety and Quality Standards
Building safe and reliable marine prod-ucts starts with stringent quality-control pro-cedures in design and at the manufacturing level.
