Shore Power and AC on staggered 35' Lightning
#11
It's an electronic diode contraption that keeps your AL. drives from being ate up when you plug into shorepower. Also a saftey devices. Not to mention when your dock neighbor uses an automotive battery charger to charge his batterys, instead of a marine charger. There IS a difference.
Very simple to install. Cut the green ground wire just after your shorepower plug and install the GI inline. Done. Safe. Happy Boating.

Installing 30 amp shorepower, main panel and duplex outlet in the galley, battery charger under the rear seat and reverse cycle AC (6500btu) under the sink. Tried to get pictures of installation from Fountain but they are not responding. Does anyone have pictures or has done this on a 35? Looking to see the actual locations of the shore power receptacle and AC panel that the factory option would do.
The A/C unit is being mounted in the cabin on the storage closet wall. 6" of the evaporator will be inside the close and 3" will come out into the firewall by driver's feet but will barely be noticeable after they install the white screen around it. They are also making a custom drip pan that drains into the bilge for any condensation the unit makes inside or outside of the closet. I went up yesterday to check on it and they already have the holes cut for the sub boxes under the rear seat and also for the a/c unit. I will be back up there Fri and take some pics if anyone is interested in seeing them. Jay

I removed the cooler and located my AC there. In doing so, I actually gained storage space.
A buddy located his AC under his bed in his 42.
