That's possibly true also of EU boats now, even if I'm not 100% sure. The boats with no onboard breaker downstream of shorepower connection that I...
Very good practice indeed, if a bit annoying. Talking of which, I recently had a chance to try a handheld thermal camera for an electrical panel...
Well, it is possible that both breakers are stuck, but of course it's statistically much less likely than one at a time... A new cord (plug...
Impossible to say if the cord is the only culprit, but it's unlikely that there's anything wrong with the boat, imho. Let's say your shore line...
Waddumean BUT are in top shape? 900 hours "so barely broken in" is what you meant, surely! :) MAN or MTU?
Pascal already said it all, really. But don't expect his last suggestion on planning speed optimization to be a life changer. It's only hull speed...
In a sense you are correct, but I didn't explain the whole rationale behind that, in my previous post. In fact, it's not like I had torrents of...
Based on the previous photos, I suspect that most of the water finds its way inside the e/r from around the borders of the large cockpit cover,...
I see. Every day is a school day, thanks! Though coming to think of it, I guess it makes sense to keep full consistency with the shore connections...
Good point, captholli. That could also explain the higher absorption that trips off the 0.5A breaker. Unless the coil is actually wired to work at...
Aha, I see. So, considering that the control contacts A1 and A2 appear to be fed by black and red wires, they might be meant to close the main...
I don't think it's that simple Pascal, because 3 of the 4 main contact pairs appear to be used (large-ish black+red+white power cables), and...
If you mean the two Hager components in between the two breakers, yes I do. They are called "contactors", and they work as follows: When the...
Don't take this as anything more than an educated guess, but based on what you said so far I'd hazard the following: The shore power switch (which...
Not FIVE, but 0.5! I mean, half of an Amp, which is a sort of practical joke. I can't even think what line/usage it could be meant to protect...
"A bunch of red flags" is one of the best descriptions I can think of for just about anything on the internet. I neither see why nor how this...
Eaton isn't one of the brands I'm more familiar with for these components, but if it isn't a thermal-magnetic breaker, it definitely looks like...
Neither, actually. But I dealt with Outer Reef distribution here in Italy for a few years, and during that time (aside obviously from the whole...
100% Correct. Having said that, when talking of Marlow and Fleming, chalk and cheese spring to mind. o_O That aside, if you don't mind me asking,...
It didn't take long to find it, and sadly it appears that you are correct. I would just take the opportunity to say that while I can see some...
