It works fine with the generator becausenyou do not have an earth connection to trigger a ground fault. Bill

The gen set out puts more power then most shore power connections. When an element asked for more power then available the breaker will trip. Empty the heater and replace the element and you will most

I know what your problem is. It is a ground fault in your water heater. The heating element has a crack and water intrusion is causing the fault. The easiest and best way to solve the problem is to

John I changed mine. The original pump was defective. When power was applied to the defective pump rather than spinning it would vibrate. The universal pump installs without any modification...just

In my SM there is an earth leakage breaker behind the circuit breakers (otherwise known as Residual current breaker - RCB)- fairly standard equipment - normally has a test button on it - this detects

What's the RCB? Kent SM243

Hmmm! Peter Forbes 07836 209730 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Was it the RCB that was tripping - could it be an earth leak in the heater that only manifests itself when you are connected to the shore earth?

But how would that explain that the water heater works fine when powered by the generator ? Tony Robinson ________________________________ To: "amelyachtowners@..."

My guess would be that your water heater is corroded and on open circuit.quite a common occurrence. Peter Peter Forbes Carango 54035 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Hi All Thanks to Jean I have put the Thompson washer dryer manuals up on the site - click here http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amelyachtowners/files/Thomson%20Washer-Dryer%20Manuals/ If anyone has an

Looks like my email address was chopped. it should be gmail.com after the "@" symbol

Hi Jean, That would be very helpfull, could you please send me both manuals to my email address. The address is notrevie123@... Thanks very much

Hi Bill, Thanks for the update, I did have some water drain out when I unpluged the hose. However after draining the water out the washer will still not run the spin cycle. It may be a faulty sensor

Hi everyone, When I run my generator, everything works perfectly - all the electrical circuits, especially the water heater, are fine. When I connect to shorepower, each time I switch on the water

Hi thanks For your comments I would take care when replacing batteries given you sail in places where a an AGM batteries are very difficult to replace. They not be a great solution for world

Hi Alan I will be very interested to hear what you get back from Leece Neville and your own experiences when you start to modify the alternator - I will wait on this before I do anything I

Hi Andrew, The reason you need to keep the belts tight is that shortly after start up the alt is putting out max current..these alts are 175A...which at 24 V = 4.2kW = 5.6Hp..that's quite a lot of

Hi Trevor, At 28.1-28.6V you are probably OK...its when it stays at 28.8V for days that I think there is a problem re gassing the batteries and ultimately battery failure But WHY your alt puts out
