Going crazy trying to figure out this problem. Here is the situation: Just had a new Kohler 5e installed on the boat, replaced a 7.5kw quicksilver. All went well, Kohler is doing fine. When I got back to my dock and plugged in my shore power, line 1 had about 60volts and Line 2 showed about 30volts and reverse polarity, My dock set up is 50Amp receptical, 50Amp splitter to two 30 amp cables to boat line one and two. Have used this setup for 5 years no problems. Swapped out the splitter, same problem. Replaced the 50 Amp receptical, no help. Cleaned all cable contacts, same problem. Here is the kicker. When I plug one 30 Amp cable into a 30 amp outlet it works fine. Find it hard to beleive I have two bad splitters.
Could the new generator installation have anything to do with it. Nothing was changed in the power panel on the boat. They used the existing AC power cables from the boats power panel to the new generator. A new remote start/stop switch was added.
Again all seems good when using the two 30 Amp cables, its when I try to use the 50Amp outlet with the 50Amp splitter. Any thoughts and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Mike
