The starboard outlets have gone dead on my 2013 R 27. I'm on shore power and followed same shore hookup protocols as always. Breaker is not tripped, and lights work on starboard. Just nothing works when plugged into a starboard outlet. Fuse blown? I worked through the manuals but can't seem to run down the solution. Fuse location?

Thanks.
 
They have GFI push buttons, right ? If they've popped then reset it/them. If they have triggered you should also check the reason why they tripped.

Lights ???? Aren't they 12v ?
 
If I remember correctly from my previous R27, there might be a GFCI outlet in "the cave"? If so, check it.
 
My R27 has a GFCI in the head outlet that also protects the outlet in the galley.

On our prior R27 our GFCI was in the head, behind and above the toilet.

Thanks everyone. That was exactly what the issue was. I did not think to look in the cave or the head for GFCI outlets since I could not find such easy/simple instructions (regarding locations) in the Ranger manuals. Given all the questions/problems (more like irritants) I have had solved over the past couple of months from this Tugnuts' forum simple advice (learned from mostly experience)--that is not made available in a simple Ranger Tugs "trouble Shooting" pamphlet, I think I will eventually put one together for future Tuggers.

Rather than spending an hour or more pouring through all the manuals, analyzing, reviewing, frustration, etc. if I could have just referred to a simple one or two page pamphlet that had the following (for example--the little problems have encountered):

1. How to use the inverter while under way: Step 1, Step, 2, etc. as I was able to understand VERY quickly and easily from this forum. (30 seconds to do and fix)

2. No AC outlet power: check the GFCI in the cave and head (30 seconds to do and fix)

3. Windlass not working: check to see if the breaker has been bumped and tripped (less than 30 seconds to do and fix)

4. Faucet leaking: tighten small screw on coil hose under sink/clean out faucet screen: (less than 20 minutes)

5. Starboard outlet breaker trips: Advice: don't use too much electrical stuff at once. (less than 10 seconds)

6. Head smell: first solution--flush long enough to move waste out of toilet plumbing system into holding tank (e.g. simply count to 3 when flushing)

All this and more put in a simple Ranger Tugs Trouble Shooting pamphlet . . .

With Tugnuts' help it took me a total of 1 minute and 40 seconds to resolve 5 irritants, and 20 minutes to fix a plumbing problem. Whereas I spent MUCH, MUCH time trying to resolve these little "irritants" before simple asking the forum.

Thanks Tugnuts. . . . . Ranger Tugs? When will you have your simple, easy to read and helpful little "Trouble Shooting for Idiots (like me)🙂" pamplet?
