Date: 28 September 2023. 8awg Selector Switch Needed.
This is the back of the switch:
Both the Port (on left) and Starboard (on right)
On power
issues the standard process is to start at the source.
Wherever the power stops is the problem.
This is the complete power panel for the vessel:

is at the lower helm located in the
main salon of the yacht. There is an air-conditioner on that level.
The ac unit for the main salon runs off that top ac
We do have an anomaly: the bottom section of the ac distribution panel is not receiving power. Was this due to a broken connection between the shore inlet plug and the switch? To test that the onboard Onan generator was started. The results were unchanged.
This second distribution panel is honestly the most critical of the two. The House breakers are for important things like the galley, all three staterooms, a 12 volt battery charger, the 32 volt battery charger, plus lights and more. Frankly, this one powers the "house" whereas the other makes it cool and comfortable aboard.

The back of the distribution panel is a mass of

Notes are also on the bulkhead regarding power

This is the back side of the selector switches shown
above.
So, the decision was made. Replace this switch:
Here is the problem: The switch was
manufactured in Austria. It was purchased some 20-odd years ago. The
numbers do not match to anything I have seen online. That said, I am
not great at searching. Can you help with a source to purchase a
replacement?!?
The numbers written on the back of
that switch are:
What say the
experts? Is there a work-around we have not considered? All of us
here on the docks would appreciate your ideas. If you know where to
buy a replacement, that would be ideal. I am hoping one of my online
friends can help. Thanks!

For years I've been collecting short pithy statements otherwise known as aphorisms. If you're like me and enjoy the weird, go ahead and CLICK! These are previously posted at the bottom of each article -- for new, you'll have to come visit again.
It's my belief that other folks who boat are some of the most interesting in the world. Inside every boater is a story. Let yours out! I'd love to post short stories, vignettes, or even longer articles that focus on some aspect of our life on or near the water. Suggested topics include:
Life has changed so much on the
water since I was born aboard. Personally I'd love to hear your memories
of life when you were younger. Boats were smaller, narrower, and much
slower. Kids were kids and our families often shaped the adult we have
become. Here are my two aboard the tow boat my dad ran for a time:
Do you want to help
out? Often an article for the website will be completely written yet lack photographs. I like pictures and am looking for some for up-coming pieces:
Size: a minimum of 1000 pixels across please. If that doesn't make sense think bigger versus resized for emailing. I prefer the full-size version. Also, the name you'd like me to use when I add the copyright stuff to your picture. And thanks bunches! My email address is janice@janice142.com |
