    Hi,
    I recently purchased a '88 48' Viking Convertible with (1) Stb side 60A / 240V, (1) Port side 60A / 240V plug & (1) 30A /120V conn on the stb side, my question is, is there a switch to go from port to stb side power and vice versa? If so where would the switch be? I have a selector switch under the gunnel for the 30A /120V or 60A / 240 option but cannot find the Port / stb 240V selector switch. The reason I ask is I typically use the stb side power conn and just recently tried the port side and there was no power to the system, I definitely have the power from the dock and the port plug is definitely wired up so there must be switch someplace that I cant located, any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Usually whenever the shore power inlet is more than 8' from the main breakers on the electrical panel you will also have a circuit breaker close to the shore power inlets. They can be mounted jsut inside of the inlet RO they can be integrated in a shore power cover next to th inlet

    Thanks Pascal,
    I'll take another look behind the mounting plate and see if I missed it. I didn't see a separate breaker on the main panel unless its labeled as a spare and never got ID'd properly
