Where are you based Loddon ?

OK, so what do you lot suggest I do ?. Take the advise off two Victron Dealers or here ?

Just had a phone conversation with Onboard Energy ( who are extremely efficient ) and they confirm that it is indeed working as it should and that theres no problem with it. Its the older models that aren't up to the standards of the new ones and this is just how they are. Thanks to everyone's input.

Not sure how old it is, the boats a 2005 so its probably original. However the boats not been used that much.

According to Victron I need to enable the ground relay to ON which can be done with a dip switch so they say. But which one ? and how ?

Cant find any reference to NE bonding, any chance of explaining it ?

Nicknorman, The readings, taken at both the inverter AC out and at a socket on the boat. L + N 235v N + E 88 L + E 102 Look forward to your opinion.

Just ordered a nice new Dunton Double as a spare ?

I think you "might" be on the right track, this is tan from another Victron manual ( not sure what model as its all I could find on this ) But it does mention a fuse for this purpose.

That sounds like an idea nicknorman, I'll do that when I get to the boat.

I suppose one test I could do is, remove the outgoing AC cable and replace this with an extension cable, then plug the mains tester into the extension and see what happens. That would rule out any wiring on the boat ?.

Very strange all this. Maybe I should remove that fuse, power it up and then replace it with a new one ? Yet everything works !. Like I said Victron support said that how its supposed to work .....

The shore cable is new and Ive tried others. All the wires are correctly connected. Its had a new incoming mains socket fitted this week. Everything IS connected correctly, yet it show polarity reversed on the AC side but ONLY when running off the inverter to power the mains sockets. Testing all the sockets with a plug in socket tester show Correct operation on Shore Power and reverse polarity on Inverter power. I did a continuity test on the fuse but I didnt remove it.

Hi, I have a Victron Phoenix Multi 12/2500 120. The reverse polarity light an a panel is lit up but only when on Inverter mode ( Not on Shore Power ) Although the inverter is working as it should it seems. I removed the front cover and noticed there are 2 fuses, one being a large flat bolted in fuse, the other looks like a cylindrical car type clip in fuse. I did a continuity test on this clip in fuse and got no reading. Could this fuse be causing the reverse polarity light issue, although the inverter appears to be working ok ??. My electrician called someone at a Victron tech support place and they told him the way its working is correct. I need to know what this fuse is for, there is no reference to it in the book.

Im looking for a new GI, with an indicator/gauge, any recommends ?

A dam sight cheaper though

Wonder if it would be feasable to have the boat engine drive one of these ? https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/3-5kva-3000rpm-alternator/

Anyone heard of Kingdom Boats, out boat was fitted out by them and I was wondering who they are.

It's good.

No, no lines around it.

It sounds like New Heat ( used to be Pure Heat till they renamed it ) https://nationalcoal.co.uk/product/new-heat/

Ive just bought a 28" LG , I always only buy Sony but Sony dont make a 28" anymore. The LG is rubbish compared to the Sony sets imo. You get what you pay for......

I was in the same position, a knackered MX60 that I kept spending money on or a new one ( Webasto) in my case. Go for a new one.

MSW = Modified Sine wave. Not very good for electronics.

I thought Shire had stopped hiring boats out of Barnoldswick ?
