Edd, we do shore power as described by Josh.
Where you moving to?
‘Round the corner?
Any updates on rendezvous?
We are in Stamford now with no excuses.

Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions. Each and

I'd strongly recommend a galvanic isolator on the incoming shore power
green wire ground if you don't already have one in order to reduce one
source of galvanic corrosion. Safest approach is to not connect to shore
power and keep the batteries topped up with solar cells, but if you want to
run
Yes. Just go over all of your hoses and everything so that you feel comfortable. Nothing like cold beer and ice when you want it.Bill ColemanOn May 31, 2019 11:02 AM, Edd Schillay via CnC-List wrote:Listers,The Enterprise will soon be moving to a full-time slip location — a first in my boating
More slip advice:
You probably all know to disconnect power at the dock outlet, not the boat.
Never leave a power cord where it can be live and fall into the water. Also,
disconnect shore power before starting the engine as the engine alternator will
generate volts that may damage the charger.
Hi Edd,
Down here in Florida it is very important to keep the air conditioning in
dehumidify mode to reduce the tendency for mildew. Thus, you'll need to be
plugged in to shore power. As for refrigeration, yes, we keep that running as
well. Overall we run an electric bill of +/-
Edd:
When at the slip, I stay connected to shore power and leave my battery
charger on when on the boat connected, I will run the fridge, hot
water tank, etc.
My slip neighbor leaves his fridge on all SummerI can hear it running.

I unplug my shore power whenever I'm away from the boat. I don't have
refrigeration and I have AGM batteries which hold their charge for a long time.
I buy cold beer on the way to the boat and a bag of ice and I'm good for the
weekend. I added air conditioning but I never intend to add
Edd,
Congrats on the slip.
I've kept Touche's shore power active and the battery charger activated for
20 years with little issues. Touche' does have a Newmar GI-30 galvanic
isolator. I've run one or two 120 VAC fan powered air dryers 24/7.
For the past two years, I've kept the refrigeration
If you have a charger that senses the batteries' charge, you'll do no harm
if you keep it on all the time. I keep my charger and refrigeration on all
the time. The power for them are not routed through the master switch. The
rest of the boat is powered off. I pay a fixed amount for electricity,

Hi Edd, I always kept the refrigeration and charger up and running all the
time. The biggest risk is if the shore power ground is not a the same
potential
and a dehumidifier running all the time. Takes care of mildew/mold
problems. Most importantly, the icebox always has a cold beer.

Hi Edd,
I always kept the refrigeration and charger up and running all the
time. The biggest risk is if the shore power ground is not a the same
potential as the water, then you can eat zincs like crazy. You should have
a galvanic isolator on you boat to protect the zincs.

I leave the internet router and 5-mile wifi on as well as the fridge and
battery charger. The biggest disadvantage is that you can get wastage of
your shaft and prop anodes. Biggest advantage is that the beer is cold
when you get there.

On Fri,
Listers,
The Enterprise will soon be moving to a full-time slip location — a first in my
boating history. So, a question for all of your slip owners out there with
shore power:
Do you keep your shore power connected, your charger running, your 12V system
on, fridge and other accessories on at
