I am the original owner of IP35 # 175 and have a 120v problem I cannot figure out. One day I noticed that my port outlets were not working - none of them. The starboard outlets and all other AC systems were fine. I checked behind the panel and noted no corrosion or loose wiring. Power is going to the port outlet breaker and out of it when engaged. It appears to be working fine. I pulled the port outlet closest to the panel and there was no power to the wires. Again no corrosion or loose wiring. I am not nearly as familiar with 120 volt systems or wiring as I am with 12 volt, so I really don't how to trouble shoot this issue any further. As far as I know there is not a GFI on the port outlets. I have one in the galley only. I guess my question is are the outlets wired in such a way that a short or loose wire in one will result in loss of power to them all? If so, I can pull each one and inspect it. I have a hard time believing that there is a break in connection between the port outlet breaker and the first outlet, and it is nearly impossible to follow individual wires back there anyway. Any help is most appreciated. BTW - nice site and I intend to become more active as time goes on. I love my IP! Glenn Parker

I bet your GFi in the qtr berth is tripped, but you say you do not have one there? That seems odd, then maybe your GFI on the port side is in the head. I bet your problem is a port side GFI that is tripped.
You are correct - I have the same GFI in the qtr berth. I go back there so infrequently I completely forgot about it. It was tripped...Thanks Hayden -
You are correct - I have the same GFI in the qtr berth. I go back there so infrequently I completely forgot about it. It was tripped and would not reset. I just replaced it and all is fine now. Will replace the galley GFI too. Thanks
By the way - I really love all the work you had done in Largo. Hope to do something like that myself. I have tried to replace as mush as possible over the years (water heater, engine hoses, waste hoses, bilge and water pumps, and the like). But I am concerned about the chain plates and there is no one I would trust around here (Merritt Island, Florida) to do that. I might call on you for some advice some day before I decide to do a re-fit. Makes me feel better about owning an IP just to know such a service exists.
