- TMC Custom 41 Trawler & S-2 10.3 Sail
My new to me Taiwanese Trawler has two 30amp power receptacles. One feeds the main (original) panel and the other feeds an added panel. The 5 months I have owned the boat I have had 2 cords plugged into the shore power pedestal and all has been well. I just moved to a larger slip which has a single 50amp outlet instead of the double 30amp my old slip had. I purchased a new Marinco splitter that plugs into the 50 and y's into two 30's. When I plug my boat in and flip the breaker on it immediately trips the breaker, tried the next pedestal over and same thing. Using only one cord in ANY position ( either side of splitter or either boat receptacle or either cord) all in well. Plug the 2nd cord in and immediate breaker trip when powered on. Once I tried to plug in the 2nd cord to the boat while the breaker was on and huge bang!&pop!. This is not some quirky gfci issue.
ANY IDEAS ?
