Reverse polarity
I have a 2006 Mainship pilot 30’ W/ 315 Yanmar. I got a call from my brother in law saying my winter tarp / cover had split and I needed to come down to the marina. I went to marina to find the tarp destroyed from the recent heavy winds in Maryland. I took down everything and put up my canvas to try and protect the cock pit for the winter storm arriving tonight. Once complete I plugged in the boat and got a reverse polarity light at the panel below. I look at the marina receptacle it was plugged into and it had been changed to a GFI within the last couple weeks. I called the marina and they stated they did replace it and checked it with a tester and said the electric is fine.
Do we have an electrician out there that could give me advice on what to start looking at on the boat to determine the problem. What would cause this to occur while on the hard at the marina. Other than losing the tarp and the new receptacle at the marina nothing has changed. The boat has been on the hard since November. This is the first time I ever saw this light illuminated.
Thanks Jeff.
