The first thing to consider is whether you will get a ratings hit. I have three friends who have asym spinnakers added into their sail inventory. They each got a three second hit. But, they race offshore and do some medium distance stuff (20-80 mile races on the Bay). If the wind is right, the

while it may work for a while, those boxes are not designed to deal with the rather nasty environment of the boat's "12V". First it is not 12V but higher (14+ when the engine is running), second it will have large voltage spikes on them. YMMV, just a thought. Leslie. Phoenix, C 1983
