I recently replaced a failing pressure relief valve on my 1700 series raritan water heater. It all went fine, but while working on it, I’d turned off the A/C breaker for my hot water heater, so it wouldn’t be hot (or be receiving electricity). After I finished the job, I left it in the off position. When I returned to the boat, the water heater had heated the water. To test it further, I emptied the hot water from the tank and turned off not only the water heater breaker, but the main A/C breaker (which should turn off all incoming A/C power I believe). But when I returned to the boat a couple days later, the water was fully heated again. I’d love to hear if anyone else has experienced anything like this. If so, how do I resolve it; I don’t want the water heater working, unless I throw the switch. Is it possible for a breaker to fail with the circuit closed? (Ie – so that it won’t turn off?)
I’d appreciate any help. Kinda confused.
Thank you,
Paul
“Talisman”this is very strange – you should trace the wires from the hot water heater and find out where they are getting power. First I would keep power on the 110v panel but shut off hot water heater circuit breaker then put electric meter on the water heater connections to conform it’s still getting 110v -?then repeat the process and shut off panel 110v – if you’re still getting 110v then it’s hot wired to 110v coming from your incoming 110connector – or maybe an inverter is converting 12v to 110 but you have to trace the wires and reconnect them to your water heater circuit breaker -usually a bad breaker means it won’t provide power

I had an arch fabricated out of ss years ago with dinghy davits and a rectangle to support a solar panel – had it fabricated in Oriental by a guy that did a lot of custom boat work- he made 3 sets in a month and said he’d never do another one – even though expensive $8000 he’d said the working with stainless way toooo much work for the money- they came out greatJoe Shimkonis
I have had my ketch pulled a few times – I always bring a profile showing the strap locations for the yard. The only thing I’ve ever had to do was to loosen up significantly the sheet back stay lines for the mizzon- no mast pulls, not a big deal – usually bow in.Joe Shimkonis
The round hole is a socket for a 12 v connector for use as such things as a portable anchor light connection to 12v.

Check out my custom davits with solar panel. Pictures on Pearson 424 web site time in a bottle and my Facebook site: joe SHIMKONIS continued ss rail each side to enclose cockpit –

which holds my 4 Kyocera 135 watt solar
panels side by side. The mizzen boom is a non issue with these newer
panels. I have the panel wired in series
for a total 80 volts fed to a Morningstar 45 amp MPPT controller…The Max

Many of the large agents that cover homes and cars also cover boats.I have properties and cars with Allstate- valued the boat at $125000 at pay approx $800 per year- for anywhere in US coastal waters.You could add Bahamas or Carribean for the months you actually leave the US coast.I had raised the coverage last year-prior to that I was paying less than $500 /yr for $90,000.

Most truckers weigh the load once it’s loaded.I would think giving the trucker a range will enable him to give you an estimated fee.Long distance household moves are always billed at actual weight hauled.
You’re probably between 22000 and 24500 depending on water,personal items ,and equipment on board.________________________________
