I have a Cruisair heating/air conditioning unit. It's tripping the circuit breaker and the copper pipe I am pointing to in the picture is getting almost too hot to touch. Any ideas on what could be the problem?

2017 400 Sundancer. Bought brand new in 2018. Never had a problem with the electric swim platform until a couple of months ago, when the fuse (10 amp) started blowing. So far put in a new circuit board ($950) which seemed to help for a few times of using the lift. But then started blowing fuses...

I'm getting a low oil pressure signal on my Cat 3116 starboard engine and it's shutting down my engine. I know it's not the sensor because I swapped the sensor with my port engine and I still got it on the starboard. Also, I know I don't have low oil pressure because I clear the alarm and...
