[C320-list] blown fuse? or something else?

[Jeff Hare]

Also check the GFCI breakers.  There may be 2 of them.   One protects the port side outlets and one does the starbd side.  Press the Reset on both of those. 

These are the special outlets with the "test" button you see at home in the kitchen or bathroom.

Kevin,

There is also a Master Breaker in the stern port seat locker, just behind
your shore power inlet....

This might be a semi-dumb question but I'm not the most experienced
electrical guy and haven't dealt with this on my 320 yet.

I came out to the boat late last night. Temps were projected to get down to
the high 30's so I brought along another small 1500w heater. I used it along
with the one that was already on the boat. Within minutes the 110 volt
outlet circuit that both were plugged into had shut down. I figured a
circuit breaker had tripped or a fuse had blown.

There is a "30 Amp Master Circuit Breaker" on the panel at the nav station,
but it was not tripped. Is there a fuse panel somewhere? Or has something
else gone wrong?

I'm still on the boat this morning and am using my laptop with its rapidly
dying battery as I can't plug anything in until I get this figured out and
fixed.

Thanks in advance for any tips.
