Found out that the lights are on the same circuit with the galley GFCI outlet. The outlet wasn't tripped but it started working when I tested and reset it. Heard a little sizzle in in the outlet so off to the store for a new one.

Anyone ever have issues with their AC cabin lights? I was troubleshooting a GFCI tripping issue which is now resolved but found that the cabin lights didn't work any longer. After digging around, I found that both the black and white wire of the AC romex going to the light switch are hot. Not...

I have never used them but I do have a friend that does. Seems that he likes them. Great Lakes Marine Littleton, CO

That is actually how I confirmed that the issue was resolved, I disconnected the ground wire that comes from the main breaker to the neutral buss.

The actual issue has been resolved by disconnecting the ground wire from the third pole of the breaker. As for those connections, that is another project for the future. That generator is going to be a lot of work. The mounting brackets and rails have completely rotted off of it. That thing...

Double checked the generator and it is bonded as it should be. Case ground jumper going to the white neutral.

If I could find the pin out for the rotary switch, I may be able to add the ground for the generator to it. Don't want to disconnect everything just to ohm it out.

We were responding at the same time. Yes it does have the rotary manual transfer switch but only hot and neutral are connected, no ground. I didn't think about it tripping the main breaker if reverse polarity. It does have a reverse polarity light which I currently have disconnected, found...

No isolation transformer, no inverter (yet), no transfer switch, and yes to the generator. I will be adding an inverter which has a transfer switch built in but not in the mix right now. This boat has the manual rotary switch that switches from line 1, line 1/2, and generator. The rotary...

It gets bonded at the shore power breakers. The breaker is a three pole and the third pole of that breaker is what connects the neutral to the ground. I have attached a photo, that that it shows much. On that third pole, there is a jumper that comes from the switched side of the second pole...

Looking for some help. I was trying to track down a GFCI issue when plugging in my 1987 390 EC (on the hard). Only using lights and the outlets so I am using a 30 amp to 15 amp adapter and plugging in to a normal 5ma GFCI on my RV power pedestal. I realize that it is not the normal 30ma EPD that...
