First problem of the 2022 season! We splashed this morning and ran the hour back to the marina. First order of business was to fill the fresh water tank and flush the lines.
I was impressed at the pressure and flow rate at each sink as it was significantly higher than last year. The boat was inside heated storage all winter and nothing froze. The fresh water tank and hot water heater were drained during storage.
After a couple minutes the wife said “Hey, the water is off.” Sure enough, the breaker had popped. I turned it back on and the pump ran fine until the breaker popped a couple minutes later. The connections at the breaker are clean and tight. The Jabsco Sensor Max 14 motor was cool to the touch. The wiring at the pump and as far as I could trace was sweaty from being cold, but clean and intact.
I read in the manual that the motor will protect itself by shutting off when the voltage gets over 14.5 volts. The house bank charge state was at 74% at the end of the winter, so the charger was charging at 14.7 volts. Would that pop the breaker in my DC panel?
