First, to all the responders in my ORIGINAL STATEMENT - and questions ref to WHY THE GFCI ON THE SHOREPOWER perpetually trips out shortly after accepting shore power hooked up. ( details below) ,…a plaguing problem, indeed,… Finally back on the Forum,..and all variables were checked,..as I swapped all power cords,…And moved to a different GFCI.
I cleaned all connections - male and female connectors into the vessel and on power cords As well as the GFCI itself,…( while tripped/ while UNPOWERED ). Same issue of GFCI eventual trip out occurs, as AFTER WAITING several minutes, 3-7 minutes, typically, and regardless of which order users I select ( battery charger, outlets, interior lights,…) the GFCI is found tripped. I’ve changed out the order of reinstating various users, however to NO SUCCESS. I may be posting this further comment in an incorrect location on The Forum,
AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL for piping in on your MULTIPLE SUGGESTIONS.

1999 Beneteau 35,2 Oceanis.
I just acquired a Beneteau Oceanis 35.2 and the boat will not hook up to GFCI shore Power on the hard. The shore power comes into TWO segments of circuit A) the MAIN circuit ( upper electrical panel) and . B) A/C :Air Conditioner circuit. ( lower electrical panel)
When I plug in from fence line GFCI to the boat, both panel power available lights illuminate, (main AC power available and air conditioning AC power available). Everytime I close the main onboard switch to “accept main ship power” the fence line GFCI trips.
When bringing the boat up during its ferry run AND while dockside, at Haverstraw, as well as previous marinas, There was ALWAYS a CONSISTENT ABILITY to ATTAIN shore power.
Note: prior to closing the main ship power switch to “ accept” shore power, all user-switches ARE “ OFF”. Despite this, the fen line GFCI TRIPS.
