Running light and blower issue

Hello fellow Sea Ray boat owners. i have a 2006 300 Dancer that was purchased a few months ago, and while i have and do enjoy the boat i have a challenge that is now recurring.
on a couple of occasions the boat has been docked at a marina i visit, and i run the gen set and blower so that my dog...yes it is about him...can enjoy the AC while i am at the restaurant.

when i return the blower is not running, and the running lights will not work, nor the stern light. all other nav lights work, and the anchor light works.
what is happening is the fuses are popping in the engine compartment...due i think to the heat coming from the gen. i can not reset until the gen is off and engines cooled down. not good.
i have had the fuse box replaced...so my dealer tells me.
happens when i dock, not when i am out. i know i know, do not dock there anymore right? but the restaurant is worth it. but now i am concrned about the blower going and CO2 getting in.

anyone have this issue, or have some input.
Thanks,
A Loan At Sea, Alpharetta, Ga.
 
Never heard of anything like that. I take it that your fuse box is located over the genset and/or muffler? Have you checked all the hose clamps for tightness?

BTW, CO not CO2.
 
check your batteries
if batteries getting low (maybe because there is no water in them?)
there is higher amperage being drawn than on regular 12v and maybe this is a cause?
example: 3 light bulbs 10W each - 30W on 12V is about 2,5A
when battery drops to 10V amperage try to go to 3A and may reach limit of your breaker
I am just thinking loud.
I am never seen breakers popping out because external heat
 
Your dog is playing with the buttons!
