AC power question

aero3113

Helping out my neighbor on his 2006 Sea Ray 290. We have 120V at the panel, the microwave and fridge work on shore power and generator. There are 4 other outlets on the boat that have no power to them. I was hoping one of them had a GFI but none of them do. What am I missing, it has to be something simple!!

On my friends SR 340 and 400 both have an additional electrical panel in the engine room. Does the 290?

It does have a breaker panel in the engine room, nothing was tripped. I looked at it quick and thought it was 12 volt. I’ll have to look again next time I’m there.

Has to be a GFI somewhere you are missing

That’s what I’m thinking, it’s driving me nuts! Now I’m going to be losing sleep and it’s not even my boat!! LoL!

It will have a GFI, all SeaRays do. Sometimes difficult to find, check the head sometimes in a cabinet. also check the aft cockpit/deck area for a plug because it's a wet area a GFI is required.

Check the head...

The head has a plug in the upper cabinet but no GFI

My gfi is by the sink.  Somehow when shore power is off for a while it switches itself off automaticly.  When it does I have no outlet power.  Maybe I'm hitting it while cleaning?   Had to hit the button last week when doing an all systems test.

I had a SeaRay 440 that I looked after and had the same problem, eventually found it in a locker on the aft deck

Why would they make it so hard to find!!?

Tell him he should have bought a rinker areo!

@rasbury , I tried! In this market it’s tough to find anything decent 28-31 with a generator. We looked at a Rinker 320 but felt it wasn’t the right boat.

The manual says there’s a GFI in the cabin but doesn’t give a location. Crazy that they would make it so hard to find!

Found it!!!!  #13, Just have to verify. We must’ve looked in there a ton of times! LoL

Confirmed!!
