Cuda,

In the port side storage compartment there is an adapter to plug in the shore power to a 15 amp service plug. (same compartment as shore power cord)

Not only do you not go in the cabin, you evidently dont go in compartments either.

I wish I had a first mate like Debbie, all you have to do is drive

By the way, the ignition keys are on the dash below the steering wheel just in case Debbie starts it for you too

Outlaw,
Had a friend of mine who's good with DC stuff check it out. Appears to be wired to the batteries as shown on the schematic. No obvious wiring problems found. Only thing I noticed is that the charger is directly below the starboard K-Plane pump/reservoir. (Yeah, it is located just under the backseat bulkhead just like yours) The caps on the reserviors leak a slight amount and some fluid ends up on the charger. I'm thinking maybe some hydraulic fluid got into the charger through the top vents in the charger case. Maybe that shorted something in the charger. I dunno,,,,,,, just a guess by a knuckle-draggin' mechanic!!!!

I'm thinking I'll pull the charger and take it to an electrical repair shop of some sort and see what they can do.

Thanks Bill! You should come up to Palatka next month when we're meeting with the Donzi group.

Ask Russ who checked and refilled the oil when he was running a card stop on the SOS poker run this year. Debbie and her daughter were both under the hatch checking and filling the oil while I drifted and chatted with Russ.

They were better than a Nascar pit crew. They each had an engine they were responsible for. When was the last time you saw DE Jr check his own oil!

Okay, throw in the Vette, and I'll trade Debbie to you for Jen. It's the least I can do for a buddy.

Third, my charger is mounted on the firewall but not directly below the trim tab reservoir. I'm going to track the wiring this weekend and try to find out what's up. I also want to put a voltage meter on the charger to see what's coming out. Russ

Call the charger mfr for a troubleshooting guide. If it fails, check with the mfr to check their repair/upgrade policy. ProMariner offered a great upgrade trade policy and when mine went tits-up I upgraded to their electronic unit for about half of what mail order price was.

Same with an old Ray Jeff unit I had on a houseboat.
And an old Unimetrics dual station VHF that went down (boat sunk) was completely factopry refurbed for a $25 fee.

Never hurts to call and ask.

Cool Mcollinstn!!!!!!!! I'll give Guest a call and see what happens. Squeaky wheel gets the grease (or a new charger ).

I'm with you on that one. Anybody got a number????
