When plugged in to shore-power, my breaker shows that I am getting power (the meter reads 110). Outlets and Fridge work without problem. However, when I was down below putting things away, I noticed my cabin lights getting dimmer and dimmer. Went to the helm and tried my nav and cockpit lights - same thing. I went over to the breaker to make sure the converter was switched "ON", which it was. So basically, the boat is getting shore power, but it's not converting it to low voltage to run the 12 V system.
I didn't have a chance to really get into things, as it was getting dark and a pretty nasty storm was about to roll through. I'll be going down in the morning, but want some insight as to things I should be looking for. Is there a fuse for the 12 V DC converter? If so, where is it located?
Any insight is appreciated, as I'm not an electrical guru.
