How Do I Troubleshoot Shore Power Problems?


If your shore power isn’t working, here’s a step-by-step checklist:

  1. Inspect the shore cord
    • Look for visible damage, corrosion, or burns.
  2. Test the pedestal outlet
    • Use a polarity and voltage tester to verify correct wiring.
  3. Check onboard breakers and fuses
    • Reset breakers and confirm fuses haven’t blown.
  4. Verify ground connections
    • Improper bonding can cause faults.
  5. Use an isolation transformer or converter
    • Prevents stray currents and protects equipment.
  6. Monitor the load
    • Avoid overloading your system, especially when using air conditioning and battery chargers.

When in doubt, call a qualified marine electrician.
