1995 330 DA main breakers?

[sailor723]

I was wondering if this boat has main breakers for the 110 service other than on the panel? I plugged in last night and while line one is fine there is no power on the panel from line two. I tried switching the cords but no change so I know I at least have power in both cords as far as the inlet on the boat. I've only had the boat for a few weeks so I'm still learning the systems.

Look at the panel in the cabin. Make sure both toggles are set to Shore Power. Maybe one is still on the Generator selection. Make sure all the breakers at the power pole on the dock are turned on as well. I'm not aware of any other breakers besides those.

If you have a multi meter you can test both cords to make sure they have power coming from the power pole at the dock.

Just came back from the boat....unplugged line two and reconnected it...problem solved. When I reconnected it I pushed in very hard and gave it a bit of a twist left/right. I don't know if it just wasn't pushed in all the way or if there is a connection issue. I will keep an eye on it for any heat and if it happens again will explore the shore power inlet connections

The twist just locks it in place and shouldn't matter as long as it's pushed all the way into the socket. I'd unplug them from the boat and make sure there aren't any broken or bent pins. One could be broken and held in place by the insulation surrounding the pin. If they're all good and not bent it was probably just not plugged in all the way.

I had the same issue when I first moved my boat to its current wet slip....the problem turned out to be corrosion inside the shore power dock plug....this particular plug had not been used in a long time and corrosion had developed inside.....I just plugged and unplugged the shore cable several times and that wore off the corrosion....

The problem appears to be on the boat rather than the dock connection. Went back down to the boat last night and line 2 was off again. unplugged and plugged the cord into the boat inlet socket a couple of times and nothing....jiggled it and twisted it left/right a bit and power came back on. I'll replace the socket next week.
