1971 F26 - Shore Power Questions

[larryeddington]

I currently own 3 Trojans 2 f38s and a tri-cabin and not solid wire found. I did take the breaker box from my parts f-28 and put a sub box in the good f-28 so I had more circuits. That triple breaker according to Bob at Beacon is not available accept used. I found the current Seiman's circuit breakers are an exact fit for the old Hart breakers as they purchased Hart. That is except for the master triple 30A breaker. They are readily available at Home Depot.

Ken, what circuits have solid wire?

Originally all three shore power circuits had solid wire. I removed the electric stove top (which was on 1 of the 3 circuits) and used that circuit (20 amp) for the AC I installed. Of course I replaced the wire that served the AC with heavy marine grade wiring. The remaining 2 circuits still have the original solid wire feeding the outlets.

After going back and looking at some photos I took a while ago, it appears that the boat was probably wired with stranded because some of the wiring at the panel is stranded. Perhaps the outlets were rewired with Romex?

In any case, a complete panel replacement and rewire will eventually get done...
