You plan to sail correct? Could I meet you in Bellhaven NC and tag along on
Halcyon. I have been tearing up the Neuse (one if the few boats out there
often) and have done Washington, Ocracoke and Beaufort but never North of that.
I would love to check out Chesapeake in the fall! But

First thing I would try is just to remove the foam part of the air filter and
see if that makes a difference, just for a short trip. Even though you cleaned
it, there could be some collapse inside.

Some of you may remember a few weeks back I was inquiring about an apparent

The charger output is 20 amps at something like 14 volts – roughly 280 watts.
But the current draw at 120 volts should be only about 2.5amps.

As Dennis says, ignition/coil failure were a problem on A4s with the
conventional (points and condenser) ignition.
The fix is to convert to a breakerless electronic ignition. There is a kit

When my Xantrex TrueCharge blew (not the breaker or fuse) the only thing we
could attribute/correlate it to was having the breaker on while plugging in
the shore power. Didn't make much sense and to me was a clear indication
of the poor build quality. Never specifically tried to recreate with

Interesting, I have a Truecharge2, 20 amp which charges my starting battery.
Now that I am hauled and plugged into a 20 amp 120 V plug, it pops the
breaker. Is there such a thing as a soft start for a charger, which doesn’t
send a surge through when initially turned on?

Before you change the unit (and if you do, go with the ProNautic 1240P) you
should check the fuses. Odds are there are one or two inside the charger (near
all the connections) and there should be one in line between the charger and
the battery.
