OK, I've got to ask. I love tool as much as the next guy, maybe more
(ask me how many saws I own).
What the hell do you need a cordless drill living on your boat for? All
season?
When I'm working on the boat I will bring whatever drill is appropriate
(the corded right angle drill is actually a favorite), I will take it
home when done. It isn't like I'm off cruising for a week and suddenly
it occurs to me that I should install some new deck hardware. And if it
did I've got an old school hand drill that will do a few holes quite
easily.
I will admit, after being this sanctimonious, that I do have a 260 piece
socket set on board. And yes, I only use 5 sockets from it. :-)

I got my ryobi L-ion set on sale for I think $60CND.... two batteries,
driver and drill. I keep that stuff on the boat and bring a battery
home every now and then for a charge. At home I use a Bosch set that's
proven to be very reliable, lots of use over four years including lots
of masonry (hammer) and even work on the car with the driver.
Ten years ago they would have likely been nicad batteries and those
really did suck. The current gen of lithium ion powered stuff is great
as far as I can tell.

I +1 on the Ryobi 18 V (but it has to be Li-ion). They may not be
the “professional grade”, but I don’t use it for work. They last
much longer than the cordless of the past (unless you murder the
battery; they don’t die by themselves, like our boat batteries)
and they do keep charge for months, when not in use (that last
comment applies to most of the Li-ion batteries). I haven’t found
any 12 V chargers, though (not that I would need one).
Look for a sale at Home Depot. They happen very rarely, but I
bought my set at 50% off (model year change).

I would change course, and go for an 18 volt, 1/2 inch Ryobi with
one of the new lightweight lithium Ion batteries. They are
variable speed, and those new batteries run a LONG time on a
charge, and then charge back up in an hour. Plug the 110 volt
charger into an inverter when onboard, or get two batteries and
rotate them from home. You'll be getting so much more "tool" than
anything like what you described can provide.

I am looking for a small light duty light weight 3/8 max bit

has a 12 volt cord with cigarette lighter adaptor that can be
used directly connected to the house batteries.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
