I've just bought an 8-yr old 321, and I can only intermittently get the shore power relay to work. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't. I switch the switches and I never know whether I'll be able to get shore power. Is this a common problem? Is there something I'm not doing right? Or do I need to replace something? Any ideas out there?

I assume you mean the circuit breaker is tripping at the shore power. Check the power cable entering the boat for corrusion, discoloration, or damage. It may not be obvious, any discoloration may mean trouble. I had to replace my power cable and the power connection entering the boat. When I took it about, it was melted and ready to start a fire. Does this happen when the AC panel is off inside the boat? Do you have any led's lit to indicate good power when it does work? Any other AC circuits on when it trips? Chris
