Last week I deployed the deicer. There was a problem with the 110 V outlet on the shore pedestal, so I plugged the deicer into an AC outlet in the boat. Went back today to check on how it was working.

First, there didn't seem to be 110 V in the boat. I checked from the pedestal, then the shore plugin on the boat, then the AC circuit breakers....Now, all had power. Except the 110 V outlets inside the boat. I plugged the deicer into the shore pedestal and turned to tracking down why boat outlets had no power.

The AC panel showed power. The batteries were being charged, so that circuit was good. Time to open the owner's manual and find out there is no specification of where fuses are located on the AC side. The DC side is well described, not the AC side.

Anyone know where the AC outlets fuse is located?

On the 37 there’s an extra breaker under the starboard settee. Not an intuitive place to check but it could be there on newer series too.

Most builders use a GFI outlet first on the circuit to provide GFI protection to all the outlets downstream, check it as Leo suggests.

Yes, I believe both of you are correct. Wish I had thought of that while aboard. Won't be back there until next week.
