[C320-list] AC system problem

[Allan S. Field]

   Greg - Immediately - like today - check the shore power cord female end
   and the outlet on the back of the boat for any melting or burning
   around either.  This sounds like it could be a short in one or the
   other that can lead to a fire. This commonly can occur if the shore
   power cord is not firmly twisted and then locked in place.  If
   either/or is/are burned, they would need to be replaced.  But your
   intermittent works/doesn't work leads me to believe that is the issue.

   I am having some issues with my AC system. While the breaker/switch on
   the main panel is on and the green indicator light is lit I am not
   getting any power to any of the AC systems i.e.:outlets, battery
   charger frig inverter etc. It also tends to trip the breaker on the
   shore power pedestal. After resetting the breaker and playing with the
   switch I can get power back but it usually doesn't last. My first
   choice is to replace the switch but I have not been able to locate one
   on Catalina direct or through any of the usual marine suppliers. Any
   suggestions on what the problem maybe or where I can find a replacement
   switch would be appreciated.
   Thanks
