Last weekend my bilge blowers would trip and shut off after running my 5E for about 1/2 hour. I could start them up again and they would run about 5 min. then trip again...
I went to raise the engine hatch while this occured, it raised about 2 inches and tripped. I waited a few minutes and it went down.
The next morning, after everything cooled down overnight, the blowers ran about an hour with the gen running and then tripped again...
I seemed to have normal water flow through the exhaust, and it is not make more noise than normal...the breaker panel is in close to the 5E muffler.
Is it possible I'm not getting enough water flow through the muffler which causes the muffler to get warmer than normal and the heat is radiating on to the bulkhead where the breakers are?
