Electric feed to 41' boat - major issue
Posted: Mon Jul 11, 2022 7:14 am
Does anyone have a schematic for an '88 Marquis?
Have run into issue of supposedly having the standard 2 input 30A circuits (with separate feeds from Shore Power 30A feeds). However, in checking, there's only 1 feed in use - disconnected each feed SP cable as it plugs into boat:
Feed 1 - ALL AC appliances + 2 air conditioners use this feed. Subsequently, it pulls too much electric (the boat's AC meter will show 157 volts (?!?!) but a low amp load.). This causes 1 breaker on shore power pole to trip.
Diags confirm there's only the 1 30A feed in use!
Feed 2 - no AC usage on the boat: appliances checked, AC lighting checked, outlets checked. Nothing powered by this ckt.
I'm going to pull the electric panel in the salon to check wiring (but apprehensive about what I'm going to find.
--> having a Schematic will help immensely to put things right!
Anyone able to help?
Thx much!!!
