Lithium Battery Bank Inverter Not Working - Problem Solved

[mccleaftm]

I spent several hours trouble shooting why my bank of 6 Lithium Batteries were not working when I turned on the inverter circuit breaker. As odd as it might seem the problem was traced to a GFI plug located behind the circuit breaker panel. It was difficult to reset the plug once it was located due to it being installed behind the "Engine", "Emergency", and "House" battery On/Off switches.

Hope this post saves another Cutwater owner some time and or money.

Thanks for the post - sounds like something I should keep in mind, same boat, same house bank. Can you post here what your successful access pathway was to reach behind that panel. What had to be removed? What did the GFI plug look like (color? location 'back there'?) Thanks again!

Jack,
The plug is actually part of the inverter. The inverter is located behind the circuit breaker panel. Four screws hold the circuit breaker panel in. if you remove the screws and fold down the circuit breaker panel the inverter in my C-24 was installed directly to the right almost against the port side of the boat. You'll see a green glowing light. I had to use a flashlight to see the plug.
