What happens if I keep the refrigerator breaker on in the 120 volt panel along with the converter to keep the batteries charging and also the 12 volt panel for the refrigerator

Refrigerator will run on AC until you loss AC power, then the DC will pick up the refrigerator.

Not sure I get your question. It will continue to run. However, if you lose shore power it will start to drain your batteries. With the 12v breaker off, It will continue to run, unless you lose shore power in which case your food will spoil.
 
Any thoughts on Corinthian aqua weave cockpit carpeting they are offering 20% off for end of season sounds reasonable?

View attachment 60572 View attachment 60573 View attachment 60574 Well, I found a source for water on my aft bunk carpet floor. Luckily not the water tank. Dry as can be. No spots, stains.

But the first picture is under my bath sink. A good liitle spot of mold. You can see the drip line on tge carpet coming from the top. The 3rd picture is outside and possible entry points. Could be window, rail, cleat caulking. My sink drain was cracked, butvwe didnt use the sink that much. I pulled 3/4,gallon from the carpet under the aft bunk.

Its tight getting behind the power vent and the other insulated 3-4 inch air line...not sure what the insulated air line is. AC intake? That wouldnt come from aft would it? I guess Ill remove the microwave and see if I can find anything there. I suspect this is from years of slow leak, but the 3 days of storms here made it very apparent.

Suggestions?

I posted a possible solution in the sport cruiser forum with the same problem. The rubber trim molding (between the glass and windshield frame) along the bottom of the starboard windshield at the radar arch had shrunk, leaving a 1/4" gap. when raining or washing the boat, water would funnel to that rear corner and find its way to the aft cabin. I filled the gap with clear silicone. Problem solved! Also depending a very windy storm or washing the boat, water can find its way into the vent at the bottom of the arch and get into the aft as well.
 
Looking at an 02 310. It is on dry dock since the fall of 2017. Looked again at it today and there is water in the compartment that contains the shower ac sump. Not sure where it came from since it hasn’t been used. Temps dropped down into 20’s this week. Any other way water can get into that compartment?? Please help. Only thing keeping me back from making offer.

The pump box must be cracked or a hose is leaking going into it.
Or the pump inside the box isn't working .
 
Thanks for the reply. The boat has been out of the water for a year. Last week I didn’t see water, and this week there is water in the locker. Only thing I can think of, is water expanding and overflowing sump. Any other ways water can get in there aside from ac or shower?
 
OK. so likely you have water coming in from the outside, and making its way into that area. Check the seal around the windshield, the port lights, the windlass, etc.

I just put an official deposit on an 02 310 sundancer. Has 64hrs on newly installed 350 mag horizons. Cherry cabinets. Going to do a chilly sea trial after new year. Hopefully all goes well. Can't wait till the weather gets a little warmer so I can start my season nice and early. Has no Genny, but can't see the wife staying on the hook for too long anyway. May get a honda Genny for emergency use?? Want to upgrade electronics from stock raymarine radar/GPS. Has smartcraft gauges. Thinking of keeping original electronics and just using ipad with vesselview and navionics. What do you all think about electronics? PS. Last boat was a wellcraft 264 coastal.

Congrats. you're gonna love the boat! Hope the purchase goes smoothly. couple of things worth noting;

- Never mention the use of a portable generator on a boat in this forum.....just don't
- An iPad is a great backup device, but not suitable for a primary nav system. They are difficult to see in bright light, and they tend to over-heat and shutdown when used in the cockpit.

I went all Garmin when I did my refit. Here's what that looks like on your year of 310;

Looks nice. I will never mention a portable genny. Unless we’re taking about tailgating! Lol!
 
Also, I was looking at both garmin and simrad. I know brand is a matter of preference, but what about screen size for this helm. 7” or 9”?

Mine is a 10" unit (specifically the 7610xsv). As you can see from the picture, I had to remove the vinyl surround material and then cut a new burl-wood panel. In retrospect, I probably could have squeezed in the 12" unit, but it would have been tight.

As far as brands go, keep expansion in mind. You can mix and match many NMEA 2000 devices but for tighter integration, it's best to stick to a single brand. This is particularly important if you later intend to add a radar. I have the Garmin VHF 300 AIS connected to a Garmin MFD along with a Garmin Steady-Cast heading sensor. I replaced the original stereo with a Fusion RA70 setup which is also integrated with the MFD. Up next are a pair of Garmin fuel flow sensors.

I upgraded to all Simrad, GO9, radar, AIS VHF, is35 multi function and fuel flow sensors. Works great
