The microwave in my new-to-me post 42 wouldn’t power up. Took me a while to figure out how to get it out and I figured I’d share a pic so others...
Thanks so much for the visit captain! Sleeping much better at night knowing the AC power situation is simplified and functional. Both the AC power...
a couple of clarifications- the boat receives and distributes both legs of AC power from the dock through the main panel. However, before the...
The arrows drawn on the cables are not intended to be the direction of current although now that you mention it that would have also been logical....
That test is not possible right now because the transformer is not feeding any shore power to the transfer switch. Only the generator is. This is...
Unfortunately no help from the PO - no contact with him at all. And nothing in his limited logs or records. I did have it surveyed - this same...
No…I’m just saying I now know how that particular box is supposed to work Relative to your suggestion to get a “real tech” out to the boat, that...
Eh..what’s not to trust? The question is what happens when it gets input from both the genset and shore power, the companies website says it...
Also google answered my question about what happens when both shore power and the generator are feeding the transfer switch - apparently it is...
in the foreground of the image with the inverter there’s a black box - “southwire automatic transfer switch” In the background of the same image...
here’s pics One pic is the automated transfer switch, inverter, and the bypass switch (mounted on the bulkhead) Other pic is the transformer,...
i understand what you are saying. For the “automated transfer switch” to be “automated” it has to have a controller that has some sort of logic...
It’s more than this - the inverter also needs AC voltage to charge the batteries when they are not needed for supplying power. The transfer...
hello - I'm troubleshooting an AC power problem with a new-to-me 2000 era sportfish, where all of the circuits that are powered by the inverter...
Some bad luck, some catching up on things the PO said he did but really didn’t, some typical things that go wrong on a 25 year old boat. I am a...
BTW if anyone knows this specific boat I’d appreciate any insights! It’s the one in Ft. Lauderdale on YW
May be pulling the trigger on a 2000 42 that seems to be in excellent condition - would like input on anything specific to what to look for in...
I talked to tides. They said the only correct installation is with their hose. The black hose installed by my tech was definitely wrong They...
It leaks very little to none when stationary. It was dripping at first but it stopped all together overnight. At idle speed, it leaks a...
I hit the pole at about 15 kts. I was just climbing up on plane. At the time, I really didn’t think it had hit the prop because I dove on the hull...
