Default Fuse for accessory outlet

Anyone know off hand what size fuse for the accessory outlet. I have a power inverter and was wondering if the outlet could handle the draw from the inverter. It is 75Watt and has a 15 amp fuse built in. I dont think this would damage anything but not sure. Any advice?

The 75 watt is on the 120 volt side.......Is the 15 amp fused on the 12 volt D.C. side?.....................
What do you plan on running with this inverter?

Most ***. outlets should be fused around 20 amp for the D.C. side???

The outlets handle a 12 air compressor well !!!!!
...........Caper..............

Anyone know of a portable 12v heater to plug in the accessory plug
for hunting with or w/o an inverter, I do believe I have one of those.
I have been scouting around and haven't found one, this
would work good with my rain rider enclosure for those hunting days.

Cheers,

R'

the acces. fuse is a 20 amp fuse. just remember that the alt. only puts out 500 watts @3,000 rpms. this means if you have a heavy power drain, the most you'll get is 500 watts to run the whole bike and the extra's @3,000 rpm's. so if you'll idling the bike chances are your pulling alot less. just a thought

Rtic if you go by a decent sized truck stop they have all sorts of 12 volt accessories, heaters included or electric blankets even.
Or do a search for 12 volt heaters, will keep you busy a while.

Assuming about 60% effeciancy will probably draw about 10 amps and I believe has a 20 amp fuse for the *** outlet. So the battery will not last long.
