As to Mexico's desire for 180 watts.. Since he wants dual controls, that is 90+90 and 90 watts is within the range of a standard (10 amp) accessory outlet.
180 would work with Anderson power poles of the 40 amp size (my favorite connector). Hard to do better than those asexual (no male or female) self cleaning connectors. But can be tricky to install.
That single Grope 31 is around 130 amp hours, and 65 (or roughly 700 watt hours) can be used. This too needs to be thought out.
plus you loose about 10 percent when you invert so that takes it down to around 625 watt hours when inverted. (Rounding shamlessely on all but the battery capacity, don't feel like doing long division today).
