A computer fan isn't going to have adequate CFM exhaust capacity to do any good, IMO.

Last night I was sitting here, actually reading on CSR, when suddenly the main breaker on circuit 1 popped (I only have one shore power cable hooked up at a time). So I turn everything off, reset the #1 main breaker, then no matter which accessory breaker I turned on, #1 main breaker would pop instantly. So I lookup breakers on CSR, open up main panel to look for lose or burning wires and see or smell nothing obvious, so I move the shore power cable to #2, and switch inside to circuit #2 and was able to run the fridge and the port side outlets without popping the breaker, but there was no power to circuit 1 which includes the battery charger. So now it's morning and I switched back to #1 and all is working again. This is a little un-nerving considering I live here in the summer and don't really want to fry in my sleep. I'm picking up another smoke detector just in case, but I'd really like to figure out what's going on. If anyone has an idea about what might be causing this, I would really, really appreciate the help (I still slept like a baby on this thing last night, absolute silence without the power vent or radio, just bubbles rolling up the sides, or fish, or turtles, you never know what's in the water). Thanks, Dan
with the shore power plugged into outlet 1 outside, and inside on position 1, it powers both the 1 and 2 column of breakers, but if I switch the inside switch to 1&2, only the 1 side gets power. when I plug the shore power cable into outlet 2 (outside), only #2 side gets power, regardless of switch position. (assuming that the forward outside outlet is #1)
Hey guys can I jump in?
my 79 has aa button on the ac/dc panel that say power vent. I hit the button nothing happens?
from reading the tread you guys r saying that there is a blower motor to circulate the air in the head????
thanks

I solved one of the electrical problems on my boat yesterday.. Two days ago i lost all electrical power except the generator, every time i turned anything on while on shore power, the breaker would trip. i had this problem before but it suddenly corrected itself, but still, whenever i ran the little space heater and coffee pot on the same outlet it would pop the breaker. Come to find out, it was the receptacle on the dock going bad. When you got no 110, life ain't good on the Genesee.. just thought I'd share that tidbit, electrical problems are one of the worst (i think). now the coffee pot and heater are getting along.
I was just checking the amp draw again, when I test the coffee pot alone, it appears to draw nothing, the heater alone draws 12, but when I run them both at the same time on one receptacle they draw 16. put the coffee pot on the stbd outlet and the heater on the port, and I only see 12 amps being drawn on the port circuit and zero on the stbd. I'll keep them on separate circuits tho. I was looking up the amp rating in the Sea Ray manual and I don't see where they specify the amp ratings on the breakers. The rear air conditioner starts out a 12 amps when I turn it on, then I think it climbs up to around 18 after it's been running, but not absolutely sure about it climbing. Then I was reading about the converter, and the book says you should keep a 12 volt light on at all times to prevent damage to the batteries. does anyone ever do that?
