Hi tsweez,
Is the Cotek a pure sine wave unit?
Check to see if the converter plugs in. Mine does. If yours does not, add a female plug and a male plug. Or add a switch. I do prefer the plug as it allow for double conversion when there is poor quality shore power.
I see no advantage to using an "internal to the inverter" transfer switch. Sooner or later the contacts may burn. When they do *ouch*.
Just use the KISS principle when installing the inverter.
I.E. as close as humanly possible to the battery bank, without being in the same compartment, and plug in the existing shore power cord.

For reference, the Cotek I have does have a built-in 30amp transfer.
