Rinker 320 express cruiser - Outlets suddenly not working

sansteph

I bet it is simple but given our limited experience , can t figure out why our outlets (inside and outside) suddenly stopped working (every else is working just fine).   help please.  Thanks in advance.

Electric outlets ..I am thinking may be a circuit that tripped?

Breaker on panel or switch or a GFI outlet has tripped causing all of them to go out. The GFI outlet is the one that has a reset and test button on the face.

Thanks handymans..I have tried the reset button on the GFI outlets which is located on the main panel inside without any lick. Now I need to find where the breaker can be reset or the switch , then I can try it.  Very much appreciated.

I'm trying to remember, do you have two circuits (one stbd and one port) for the outlets.  If so, you may have another GFI outlet?  One in the bathroom?  If it's not a switch inside the main panel, I'd look at the back in the area near the battery switches (although I believe that is all DC).

Good question...I will have to look around, I have only tried the main panel one. Crossing my finger that I can easily find it ...

I believe the GFI is right at the panel.  Most likely it needs reset.

If you have an outlet in the head it could be GFI as well.

had the same problem this weekend when the admiral plugged in the hair straighter. Why the heck we have to do hair on the boat, but that's another topic. Anyway, GFI on breaker panel which controls all the outlets!

Steph, there is one plug on each side of the boat that has a reset (gfi) they often trip depending on load.

are you in Hull? E dock?

I have a gfi in my cabin and on my deck. I have to check both if the power trips.

If both gfi's are OK then double check the toggle switch on the left upper side of your power distribution pannel.  Every time the admiral ran the hairdryer that switch pop'd.  Flip it back towards the left.

Well...it was the GFI and funny enough, I recall my girlfriend had her hairdryer on the boat this weekend...no need to say more ;-) Thanks everyone , very much appreciated !

Hairdryer is only on the boat at the beginning of the year.  It helps me get my isinglass on!

Glad you found the easy fix!

My bet is the one in the head.
