Mystery.
Came home from a long trip where we stayed at no fewer than 8 different marinas. No unusual power issues.
Get to home marina after a 4-hour lake run, plug in shore power, and BAM..... breakers blow immediately on the pole when ANY load is placed on it. Normally I run a single 30 amp to a dual 30 Y-cord, so I pulled out the Y and....
Tried:
Running with two 30 amp cords to multiple poles.
Tried each 30 amp input by itself, and switched cords and stanchions.
Moved to another section of the marina and tried their stanchions.
No go.
It DOES run on the generator. So I assume it is either the marina itself (no other boats complaining of issues) or I have an issue at the shore power source.
Any ideas?
