I'm in a lift slip and use a 15/30 amp adapter to get AC to the boat.
When I plug it in, the GFI on the dock pole trips. If I continue to reset it, it will eventually stay set, but trip over time, sometimes hours later.
I thought perhaps the charger was pulling to many amps but it happens when all the breakers are off. I think only the Mercathode should be drawing juice.
Anyhow when it holds and I turn on the breakers (charger, cabin outlets, water pump) Never the water heater. It will trip eventually for no apparent reason. I can never leave the boat for any length of time and come back and expect the battery charger to be on, because of this.
Any Ideas where to start ???
