Default Shore Powerproblem

changed out the Galvanic Isolator, green light on module is on, and display shows red for Galvanic Isolator. from what i can see all lines are tight. i'm thinking where shore power connects, the connector is bad. i am getting 115 to my control panel. any ideas? thanks for your time

Default RE: Shore Powerproblem

Several possibilities

1-check your power cord and dock receptacle for apparent damage, discoloration, loose conductors

2-how many boats on your dock? Any new ones? Sometimes doofusses will accidently switch black and white conductors on their boat. If you can, isolate your power cord and re-check.

3-Get a polarity tester and check at the dock power outlet. The problem could be on your boat.

If none of these simple fixes take care of the problem, hire anlicensed electrician to check dock powerand/or a good boat mechanic, like the guys on the PFF to fix it.

If your boat burns it will ruin your whole day.
