Thanks for all the feedback regarding the bilge re-wire on my 30-1, very helpful advice really appreciate it. I’m now going down the rabbit-hole of electrical and figured I’d post a few photos because maybe something is glaringly obvious with my current setup and one of you can point it out. I discovered a secondary battery switch today for all the negative battery terminals from my #2 house battery under the galley cupboard, not sure how common it is to have two main battery switches like this. Also found out, as I accidentally left the main battery switch on #1 battery the other night from too much vino, it’s still dead and hasn’t recharged even though I’m connected to shore power (albeit a sketchy shore power hookup) to my True-charge battery charger. Could be one of two things: battery #1 is toast might remove and do a load test, or try to find if there’s a power draw somewhere down the line that surpasses the 10amp charger. Surveyor thinks it’s a badly hardwired autopilot and noted curious oxide on the prop, but I don’t know enough about bad wiring. So anyway here are some photos of my current setup: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_lwczpvPcEHd3R5NXVlNC1tRkE?usp=sharing Photo #1: Cabin main switches - lights illuminated from lazarette being open. Photo #2: New battery switch discovered under galley counter port-side for negative terminals. Photo #3: Truecharge 10amp Battery Charger hooked up to shore power. Neg and Pos go to battery #2 and a third Pos wire goes to battery #1. Photo #4: Truecharge wiring on batteries. Photo #5: Wide shot of negative terminals(below) going in port-side cupboard under galley counter to main battery switch #2, Pos terminals going to main Cabin for battery switch #1. The way I see it I have three options: A: Call a marine electrician - I did this morning and he’s booked till September figured I may as well just keep up the detective work B: Something is glaringly obvious about this setup and one of you points it out C: Keep digging Chris Hobson S/V Going C&C 30-1 #615 _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
