The shore power line appears it was cut where there would have been an battery charger I assume. Does anyone have a diagram how the shore power is ran from engine bay back to the 30 amp hook up? I only see one wire that could be hooked up. I have the panels in my cabin for 12 volt and 120 volt so I would assume the inverter is built in there. With this being said, I wonder if all I would need to do is connect the power line back to the 30 amp hook up if I didn't put a charger back in. Most likely, I am putting a charger back in but just wanted some input. Not very good with the shore power stuff.

pm me your email and I can send you all the diagrams from my 303. Should be the same setup. There is no inverter or converter in the factory setup, the 12V systems still run off the batteries when on shorepower, but the charger keeps them at the proper voltage based on demand. No different than the alternator when the engine is running.

Really appreciate it.

I got them. From looking at it, it just looks like the ac line was cut at the old charger. I'm hoping I just need a new charger and can hook that up and run the ac line back to the 30a hook up. Was thinking this charger should do the trick: http://www.marinescreens.com/promari...nD8aAu8O8P8HAQ

That charger should work just fine. To be clear, The charger should be wired to a breaker on your AC panel. The 30A inlet should run through a master breaker that feeds the panel. All other branch circuits should feed from there (battery charger, outlets, AirCon, etc) I think this is what you're saying, and you're on the right track. It's a simple system. There should also be a galvanic isolator somewhere, I'm almost positive my 303 had one, and I know for a fact my 382 does.

Just checked the 303 drawing, formula calls it s "zinc saver" drawing #109
