Has anybody ever used one of those gel paint striper products on bottom paint?

I was wondering about that because that's where the mud wasps made there nests, all over it. After I cleaned it up it looked fine. Not even sure what that does. This boating thing is new to me and have to learn as I go. A journey I'm looking forward to.

No help today, will have to wait until next weekend to replace the inlet. I doubt that will solve the problem, would be too easy doesn't work like that. If not I'll be back looking for more suggestions. Thanks for all the help.

It seemed like there was enough wire to the inlet I was able to pull out the breaker box fairly far from the wall. I hope that I didn't burn the adapter it's brand new. I put it away will have to look. Thanks.

It's a marine industries company at least that's what the cover says. Anyway it's going to have to wait, the screws are spinning have to hold the nuts on the inside. Here by myself today will have help tomorrow. Maybe the adapter is not going on all the way and just pushing it back, lets hope...

Ok, I looked at the plug outside and it is indeed broken, the inside plastic around the plug is 3/4 broken away so will need a new one. Then pulled the breaker box away from the wall and all the wires seem to be in good shape, but found three mud wasp nests so pulled them out and cleaned it up...

I noticed that when I plugged in the adapter the male plug on the boat was loose. If I remove the panel from the wall it should give access to the plug, right. Maybe a new plug. I'll stop what I'm doing now and take a look.

The post where I plug into work's fine I use it all the time. All the other breakers are off. I've used other cords for sanders, heat gun and radio, all work fine. I'll take the panel off and take a look. So should I get a 10 gauge cord once the issue is fixed?

As you can tell can't sleep tonight, on the boat and have alot running through my head. Was thinking if the battery switch was already off would that make a difference?

Thanks for the info. The shore power inlet is on the port side right where the bow rail starts and the panel is right there as you walk down into the cabin. As I was connecting to the inlet it was a little loose. I guess if I unscrew the panel and look behind it I should see where the inlet...

When I flip the main toggle on the electronic panel to the on position it goes right back to the off position. the shore power plugs in right where the panel is. I thought the main toggle was the breaker. This is all new to me so be patient. I'm a carpenter by trade, not very good at electrical.

Im using a 100 foot 12 gauge extension cord, that's the closest outlet to me, with a 30 amp marinco power cord plus adapter. The 12 gauge cord is in good shape I use it all the time. I thought that's what I was supposed to use.

Hello everyone, new member here. I just bought a 1985 270 DA my first boat and I will probably have alot of questions along the way. The boat is on the hard and needs some repairs. I bought a 30 amp adapter to plug into the yard power but it's not working. When I plug it in and turn on the main...
