I would have stayed in the States and rather rebuild the one motor that is locked up. If you having issues with working motor, you back to square 1……

tried a search without success.
I recently bought & installed a used Village Marine Stowaway 600 Watermaker. (110V AC). We had hoped to run the unit off the inverter while underway.
It draws ~12 A when running. This is not an issue for our 9 KW generator but when I attempt to run it off the almost new inverter (Magnum MS2812 rated for up to 23 A ) it trips the over current breaker on the inverter.
It appears that when the high pressure pump on the Watermaker starts up, it has a brief spike of up to 90 A of draw which trips the inverter.
I understand that installing a soft start circuit might make the watermaker draw less when starting. These Soft Start modules don’t appear to be cheap & most on the market are designed for Air Conditioners.
Does anyone here have any experience in solving this issue?
Thanks for any feedback you can offer.

Here was one of the answers back from this guy's question... They are only $10-20 and can reduce inrush current by 30% or so. The next step is much more expensive, maybe a Dometic or Micro-Air soft start kit. These cost several hundreds but are reported to reduce inrush current by up to 75%.

I have never used one on a water maker but if yours is a 115V, single phase, capacitor start motor it may work. Contact the manufacturer to be sure... Not sure if you allow links so in a next comment I will past the link to this forum

You might possibly need a slow start for that high pressure water pump because it's probably spiking too high… Many people use that for their air con too… And also off grid well pumps probably a lot more things too…

Check your ground! Generators search for ground. I’m betting h that may be the issue

Keep going forward while you can, because you're not guaranteed a tomorrow.
