Electrical Outlets Not Working

jaywoodz · Jun 1, 2015

I had an issue over the weekend where some of my outlets stopped working. I have a shopvac I was using and it just cut off. I checked the surge protector, it wasn't working either. I then looked further into, to check the breaker at the outlet itself, and it doesn't have one. I went over to the AC panel, the outlets breaker isn't tripped. As I'm scratching my head, I realized that everything else with an outlet is working, and plugged in. The TV was still on, Ice maker still running fine. It was just this outlet (kitchen area). I also see that it affects my refrigerator as well, so this turned into a bigger problem that needs to be resolved quickly.

Could the outlet just blown? something come loose? anywhere else I can check? It's only that one set of wall outlets in the kitchen area of my 99 310 DA.

It could be a GFI trip for that string of outlets... Or it could be just a failed connection/outlet.

It is most likely a GFCI Outlet upstream from the outlet you had the vacuum plugged in to. Find that GFCI outlet and reset it then you should be good. Sometimes they can be hard to find but should be accessible without removing any fixed appliances. This is of course assuming a PO has not changed anything. Your owners manual should notate all GFCI outlet locations.

Look for a GFI breaker on a receptacle. Sounds like you tripped that. Check all receptacles in the head, galley and cockpit to find the GFI.

Usually the GFCIs on Searays ARE NOT placed where they would be inaccessible. I wouldn't immediately take the fridge out looking back there for the GFCI. FYI, on some Searays, the fridge GFCI is actually up in the cockpit. Perhaps someone on CSR can tell you where all the GFCI are, or you can check with Searay or in your boat's user manual. You might have also tripped the breaker at the AC panel.

Not the same boat model, but the GFCI outlet on mine is on the vertical surface of one dining bench, all the way against the hull. Definitely not inaccessible, but not highly visible, either--you almost have to crawl under the table to reach it. Check under sinks and inside cabinets and wall storage cubby holes, too.

My GFCI receptacle was in the head, on the underside of the medicine cabinet.

I have one in the cabinet in the head and one against the wall where the TV/Audio plugin is mounted....so you may be looking in more than one place. Ironically I tripped one this weekend....keep looking, I promise that is the issue.

Hi all, I own a 2000 310DA and I have the same problem. I wasn't able to find the GFCI and Unfortunately the owner's manual doesn't mention about it. I did an unsuccessful search on the net and nobody at the marina knows how to help me.
I don't know what to do all the outlets aren't working.

Different noat, but The 330 has a GFCI in the galley and one in the aft cabin.

Mine is in the head cabinet.

Unfortunately I have no gfci in my boat but today I found the problem, it's the converter that transform the AC behind the main panel. Tomorrow I will change it.
