CambridgeCabby Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Yes it does , sometimes there is also a switch that needs to enabled , ask in hand over to make sure , also check that the shore cable is onboard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annv Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Hi Cris the power goes to a consumer unit via a galvanic isolator then to each socket or ring main, they are fused along with a R C B isolator just like home you are restricted to 16 amps total so if micro wave and kettle are switched on together it my trip the isolater which will have to be switched back on on the boat consumer unit or on the electric post on shore. its just like home , just to add plug boat end in first then shore power post.John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When hooked up does the power go directly to the mains sockets on the boat as well as charging up the batteries? Sorry if this sounds like a bit of a numpty question but someone is asking if she can use her travelling hair straighteners when hooked up! Chris Hi Chris It depends on the boat. I know that on Swan Roamer and Swan Rapture (Richardsons) the Shore Power only charges the batteries so the 240V sockets are still from the inverter. On Moon Enterprise (Richardsons) there is a changeover switch for Shore/Inverter to the 240V sockets. You must check with the boatyard, either phone and speak to an engineer familiar with the boat you have hired or when you pick the boat up double check before using any appliance other than phone/camera chargers. My wife uses a gas cartridge powered heated curler when we are on The Broads e.g. https://www.boots.com/babyliss-2583bu-pro-cordless-ceramic-gas-hair-curling-tong-10032560 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgregg Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I see that GHD have just announced their 'Unplugged' cordless straighteners, which charge from USB-C. They're not cheap, but the convenience of being able to use them on a boat at any mooring would sell a few to people I know. https://www.ghdhair.com/discover-ghd-unplugged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranworthbreeze Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 GHD have always been the dearest straightener that you can buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetAnne Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 It has just been pointed out to me that compared to the cost of 'my' boat a pair of hair straighteners, even at £300, is pretty insignificant!! Can I ask the forum members to please be more careful when it comes to links to such items in the future? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 It is remarkable how "our" boat becomes "your" boat whenever money is discussed. It is similar to the cost, maintenance and clearing up involved with "my" car, "my" dog and "my" garden 😁 4 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
