power

So I just bought a 2002 Sun Dancer 260 and didnt realize it doesnt have a generator. It has AC, but it can only be run on shore power. Instead of adding a crazy expensive gen, can I just add a 3000w 12v inverter if I want to run the AC for about an hour or so with the motor/boat running? I am...

I have a 2007 Sea Ray Sedan Bridge 36 that the outlets are not working on the entertainment area and the outlets by each of the TV's. How best can i trouble shoot this issue?

I turned my battery switches off on my 2000 Sea Ray 460DA when I docked it on my lift. Could anyone tell me if my Grey Water sump pump still functional with the battery switches off? Any help is much appreciated.

350 merc with b3 outdrive. Went to crank it up last night and got the single beep then nothing. We keep in our lift on the water. Last we had it our was about 2 weeks ago and she was fine. We keep it on shore power as well. We've had some pretty crazy storms the past few days and it's been...

30 amp Marinco power cord with SmartPlug female end and standard Marinco male end. Good condition. Works well. 25 feet long. Retail price for the standard Marinco 30 amp cord is about $100. The female Smart Plug end is about $85 retail. Or you can buy it as a complete cord package from Smart...

Hello With great remorse I sold my 2004 SeaRay 420 this past winter and have the Hurley Davit system as the new buyer did not want it. This system was on my boat for only two seasons and worked flawlessly for my 9ft Zodiac with 15HP Mercury. It is about 90% complete and the missing parts can...

Just took possession of a DA330 and have a QQ. Is it normal to have the helm instruments powered only by one battery bank as opposed to both?

I am curious as to your views on Searay selling new big boats powered by multiple outboards. I had a knee jerk reaction when I saw 3 outboards on their new 37' runabout. Guess my mind is already closed.

My summer marina has a 50 amp connection which I can plug directly into. Where I am today prior to coming out of the water has 30 amp pylons (electrical towers with receptacles). What do you use to split the power. I have a Hubbel YQ230 but it isn't working - see picture. What other options...

Hi - I purchased a 2017 SPX190 about 30 days ago, private sale. When returning from the lake yesterday, I hear a slight buzzing/engine sound after parking in my driveway. Not the bilge pump and I removed bilge fuse to be sure. Definitely not the blower. I turned the main battery switch to off...

Hi all, 2002 Dancer 260, and the two 12 volt power adapters(cigarette lighters) are not producing any power. Everything else works off DC power, except these two 12 volts. I'm wonder if they have a blown fuse? If so, where do i find the fuse box? When found, is there a specific fuse number to...

Hi all, looking to purchase a 260 or 280 sundancer and since this will be my first time owning a cruiser i'm curious about some simple things. (Excuse my naivety here, but i am a newbie to these boats so any info surely helps.) Generally speaking i know these boats are equipped with a microwave...

Okay, so I had a marine mechanic install a dual battery system in my 99 Sea Ray 210 Signature. He installed a manual switch like a Blue Sea or something of that nature. Anyhow, I will be installing LED lights throughout the deck of the boat and am curious as to which battery, if any, I connect...

Good morning, I have a 1998 400db and last Wednesday a storm blew thru. We experienced a lighting strike at the marina. Several of us lost various electronics. I was lucky because all my salon entertainment was on a surge protector. Question is I lost 3 outlets in the salon And I cant find out...

Shower sump is OOC. Pump and float switch both test OK. Tested wiring at the shower sump with a voltmeter but no power. Sump circuit breaker on main battery panel is IN. I did a cursory check of the wiring to the DC bus bars in the engine compartment and all look OK. Any troubleshooting help...

I was given a 1988 Sea Ray Seville 21 Cuddy Cabin. I decided that the radio was no good and replaced it with a modern one. The radio cut out while my brother was driving it one morning. I put in a 20 fuse in-line with my radio and that is fine. Is there another in-line fuse or is it located in...

Electrical outlets are all dead. We cannot locate the outlet with the GFI switch or Reset button. Does anyone know where this main outlet may be onboard? Thanks, ChicagoBoater

I took my 260 Sundancer out this past weekend. When I started it I noticed it had a little bit more exhaust noise than normal. It is usually a very quiet boat. When I applied power I didn't have full power above 2000 RPM's. Motor seems to be running fine from inside the engine compartment...

New to site, I newly acquired a 1988 300 Sea Ray Weekender and I have a question regarding electrical power on the boat. The generator has been removed, my question is when the turn knob is turned to shore power, and shore power is disconnected, does the bopat automatically go to battery power...
