AC breaker on 1995 Carver 325

[danideason503]

Hello everyone! I’m new to the forum. Nice to e-meet you all!

I own a 1995 carver aft cabin. I was using appliances on the port side and I believe I tripped the breaker. I went outside and made sure the shore power was working, turned switches off and on. On the panel, I only have a Shore #1 breaker which works supplying power to the starboard side (volts), however, the amps go slightly up for the port side and go back to 0.
GFCI outlets can’t be reset for port side but starboard side ones work fine. I unplugged everything, reset shore power and I’m having no luck. Does anyone know if there is an AC breaker hidden somewhere? I checked cabinets and all. Even under the stairs I see only battery switches. Please help if anyone knows this model well - owners manual is no help at all.

I know on my 366 the port and strbrd sides each have their own gfci outlets, one for each side. If one side isn’t resetting, I’d start by looking at each outlet very closely for any signs it got hot, then start unplugging anything plugged into that side’s outlets including getting behind panels and appliances to make sure they’re all unplugged. Then try resetting the gfci. You could even try that after every appliance unplugging o see if that device was the cause. I doubt it would be the fridge as they’re usually independently protected but maybe a stove or micro, or coffee pot? Just some thoughts. Hope it helps you track it down.

I'm confused... you state "Shore #1 breaker which works supplying power to the starboard side " does that mean you have a "Shore #2" breaker that's not working for the port side, or should "Shore #1" supply power to both sides but right now it's only supplying power just to the starboard side? Do you have one or two shore power cords?

Welcome to the forum....a GFCI will not reset until power is restored. If you have 2 shore plugs generally one will be for the air and the other for the balance. I am not sure whether you are saying the gfci is at fault or not.

Like has been said you will have to unplug all your appliances ( not just turn them off ), including the battery charger etc. Then reset, if the gfci is the cause of the no power then you have a fault to ground or neutral/appliance case. That will not necessarily trip a main breaker so be very careful here. If not comfortable call an electrician to have a look.
