Good point. Normally a 24 volt vessel could be running a good sized fridge, freezer, ice maker, cooking bagels, running the microwave, charging batteries for engines and thrusters and running a variety of 12 V systems. All this in addition to charging up the house set. My guess is the house set would take less than 1/2 of the available amps at best.

R Widman or Bofofthenorth could give a good description of how the regulator and inverter/charging system would protect the house batteries so they don't get too juiced up too quickly.
