With our AP, full instrumentation, two computers, Radar, VHF, AIS, reefer and everything else on your list, we come in about 9A (it jumps from 7-10 depending on how hard the AP is working at that particular moment). But the reefer only runs ~50% of the time and that is 4-5A of that draw. So the draw averages less than 9A.

This current draw number was just noted on our last overnight passage, so it is indicative of a boat sailing with no other charging sources.
