On my 42' 1984 the previous owner was an airline pilot, and a tight wad. He installed a really nice inverter, charger, but didnt install a relay in the sysytem. He was upset when all was said and done with the sale. he didnt tell me you had to turn the inverter off before turning on the shore power, $700 lesson learned. I have a key switch that I have no Idea what it does. He cut the aft cabin floor out to replace the belly tank, and didnt put any bracing under the joints, so I was left with soft floor to fix. glen masters
