Re: Stus-List Shore Power at a Slip

[David Castor via CnC-List]

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 the fridge, you'll need to stay plugged in.  I leave my fridge running
in the summer.

Re: Stus-List Shore Power at a Slip

[CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List]

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. Shut down the engine before 
connecting shore power. Best to have only one source of charging batteries at a 
time.

Don't leave water hose connected to the boat when unattended. Boats have sunk 
from relying on a pressure regulator. Disconnect water supply hose once tanks 
are full.

Re: Stus-List Shore Power at a Slip

[Bruce Whitmore via CnC-List]

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 +/- $20.00/month, and the air 
conditioning is running the majority of the time we are actually on the boat 
and it the slip due to a lack of good airflow, heat and humidity.  

I will also highly recommend wiring in a Smartplug outlet & plug on your wire.  
They are much more dependable than the old twist type plugs, thus reducing the 
chance of electrical resistance, heat and fire.
Good luck!

Re: Stus-List Shore Power at a Slip

[CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List]

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 refrigeration 
unless my wife throws me out and I have to move aboard. Most of the boats at 
most marinas have their power on and the air conditioners and refrigerators 
running non-stop. It's a huge waste of power to keep the boat dry and the ketch 
and mustard cold. I developed a routine to clean out the ice box before leaving 
and it is now a habit and easy enough to do.

In spite of religiously unplugging the boat, my boat's metal chainplates and 
mast step suffered from electrolysis. Not sure if it was the marina or my own 
electrical system which may be bleeding through the charger thru the prop shaft 
to the water. I'm anxious to to test things after splashing.

Re: Stus-List Shore Power at a Slip

[Dennis C. via CnC-List]

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 system on.  No issues
so far.

Most of the boats on my piers (I keep slips in both Florida and Louisiana)
keep their shore power active.  Many run their air conditioning in
de-humidification mode.

If your boat is properly wired and protected, you should have no problems.

Yes, equipment fails.  I had a West Marine (Xantrex 10) battery charger
fail many years ago.  It's replacement, a Xantrex 20, has been active for a
decade and a half.  (Note: The newer Xantrex 20 Plus models are prone to
failure.)

Make sure your shore power cord is properly supported on both ends so it's
not hanging on the plugs.

Re: Stus-List Shore Power at a Slip

[Charlie Nelson via CnC-List]

If a shore power battery charger is on continuously, things can go south in a 
hurry:
Many years ago I did this and it almost ended up very badly as in a boat fire.
My float switch got stuck in the up position, which had the bilge pump running 
continuously, draining the batteries. 
My shore powered battery charger dutifully kept running to charge the battery 
which was being drained by the bilge pump.
After x-days of charging, the Xantrex 20 (?) charger finally either overheated 
or somehow blew a resistor or something up internally.
When I got to the boat, all batteries were dead. More importantly, there was a 
very visible black soot spot on the outside of the charger near where whatever 
blew inside was located. Fortunately, that was all that happened! However, I 
also realized that if the battery charger had not died in a fail safe mode, 
this overheating could have caused a fire. Whether designed that way or not, I 
decided then and there that I had used up one of my boat lives.
Since then, I NEVER leave any AC powered devices on when I am not on the 
boat--although I do not disconnect the shore power cord. This is probably being 
over cautious since I see many boats pumping AC water out all the time or with 
AC in hatches working to defeat the NC heat. 
My boat and beer may be +100 degrees inside but it will still be 
there--assuming that it doesn't sink at the slip for other reasons!

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.

Re: Stus-List Shore Power at a Slip

[Matthew L. Wolford via CnC-List]

I am plugged in at the dock all the time.  I have not experienced any 
downsides, although I understand that stray current can cause both galvanic 
problems and health hazards for swimmers.  Make sure the electrical connections 
are solid and everything is up to code (boat and shore).  I remember reading 
that there is a device you can buy for added protection (I forget the name), 
but it was north of $500 and, like I said, I’ve never had a problem (about 30 
years of plugged in boats).

In addition to having fully charged batteries, staying plugged in allows me to 
have a fan and a dehumidifier running all the time.  Takes care of mildew/mold 
problems.  Most importantly, the icebox always has a cold beer.

Re: Stus-List Shore Power at a Slip

[Joel Aronson via CnC-List]

The new electrical code requires GFI  breakers at every pedestal that trip
with the slightest difference in amperage - 30 mA.  If you are on such a
dock you may have to have your boat checked by a marine electrician.  The
upside is that wasting of zincs and danger to swimmers is greatly decreased.

Stus-List Shore Power at a Slip

[Tom Buscaglia via CnC-List]

Edd

Everyone at our club, including us, leaves their shore power and charger on..  
I always shut down the DC power  when off the boat,,except when we have 
provisioned the boat for cruising.

There can be issues with poorly grounded boats creating some sort of charge 
that wreaks havoc with zincs and is potentially dangerous.  But one of our 
members who understands this stuff checks the slips periodically and 
disconnects any leaky boats until they fix the issue.

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.

Stus-List Shore Power at a Slip

[Edd Schillay via CnC-List]

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 all times, even if you’ll be away from 
the boat for a length of time? 

Are there any negatives associated with doing that? I’m used to a mooring where 
everything is shut down when you leave the boat. 

All the best,

Edd
