Right. I avoid crowded anchorages anyway, and tend to anchor well away
from other people so I don't have to worry about people dragging into
me. (Although a couple of weeks ago someone did start dragging and
missed me by five feet.) Right now I'm on the hook and was nearly 3/8
mile from the nearest boat... although last night somebody pulled in and
dropped the hook 200 feet away. I dunno why, it's not like there isn't
a ton of room. If I bother him he can move.
I don't run it at night or during happy hour if there are other people
around. In this spot we have an afternoon thermal that runs from 10-20
knots in an open roadstead anchorage that can get rather sloppy. It's a
great time to fire up the little Honda and top off the batteries.
The 12V jack only outputs 8A with no intelligence, and isn't worth using
on a boat.
If anyone comes over here and tosses it overboard, I'll go over there
and toss his outboard overboard. They're noiser.

Be aware of and mindful of your neighbours so don't run it when the
anchorage would otherwise be silent.
