Very good question.
Well, I'm always happy to put to bed any trouble that doesn't affect me! :) But just for the records, I'm somewhat surprised to hear also of your...
Loose terminal maybe? From your photo it looks like the overheating might have started from it.
I know, and said beforehand, that it's o/t. OTOH, you said "I have found tripped breakers that still conduct" as if it were normal/acceptable......
No idea of what the punches mean, but it might as well be done from the factory on all new shafts. If you are unsure of if/when they were ever...
TBH, I would call "massive" any shaft wobble that you can spot by eye. In your boots, I wouldn't even start checking engine alignment without...
Just one more question, again with apologies for the O/T, but you made me curious: Do you possibly know what is the normal current breaking...
I'd rather call it a poor translation, more than likely from some computer program. Whatever the reason, which I'm also missing.
Urgh, THAT sounds scary. Zero interest in starting an "ours is better than yours" debate, but I can assure you that I never, ever came across a...
We are now drifting into a somewhat theoretical and o/t debate, but FWIW I still can't see any logic in single pole breakers on hot wire alone...
Thanks for your explanations. I was actually aware of how 120/240V sockets work in the US, but not of the colour coding. Which for the records,...
So, what? Following your reasoning that the 30A breaker in the pedestal might be faulty, you could still melt the 30A plug or the wires upstream...
If by "pointed bow" you mean as opposed to the somewhat "squared" bow (as you can find in some Azimuts, for instance), the one in your photo is...
Thanks for the youth attribution, but I have a funny feeling that you might not win a contest about who has more grey hairs. Regardless, if you...
CR, you are making me wonder if there's something I'm missing due to a different US practice compared to what I'm used to. On this side of the...
FWIW, neither do I, as I already said. Imho, there is ZERO risk on the boat side, including the shore power cord, which being designed for 50A can...
Fair enough, I didn't understand that CR pic was referred to the same boat WV is interested in. Not the smarter electrical panel I've ever seen,...
Are you saying that because you know that's how the Tiara 4400 AC panel is arranged? The OP photo is of a Luhrs, not of the boat worthy vessel is...
Hence my suggestion to check with the marina first. After all, they should be even more interested than boaters to avoid setting a pedestal on fire.
I can't see any problem in that. It's dead obvious that you'll never be able to draw more than 30A, which depending on your needs of running...
