Hello All
I was visiting with MSarsfield today and he indicated that the electrical system in the boat is reaching full capacity. I am going down to the boat on Friday the 2nd and will take a quick look -
As I understand it we are getting power from a spot in the back of the museum feeding to the boat, and are primarily using it for internal lighting and misc items?
Do we have a power panel set at the boat (inside or out)?
Thanks
Charlie

If you can reach Vaughn Newkirk...he'd be the man w/ the answer. He did the wiring for the AC units, so I'm not sure what he actually installed in that regard.

I forgot to mention that there are individual cut-offs/breakers next to the A/C units on deck, but these are strictly for those two units to meet building codes. There are other A/C and fan/blower control panels in the boat. The only way that I know of to kill all of the lights/power at once is either from the utility pole or the main switch in the museum (which is how Rick shuts the place off every night).

Electrical is a big problem. We really need to assess how things are wired internally. Just ask for me and I will show you everything we know.....
