Hi, part of our ongoing lightning strike repair nightmare, I have noticed that if you turn off the DC via the rotating kill switch there is still power to the DC control panel unless you turn off the shore power as well.

Is this right? We had a new inverter put in at the end of last year and it seems there is now a feed from the inverter back to the DC panel.

Not being an electrician, any advise would be seriously welcome

Thanking you in advance

All the best

Paul

Hi Paul,

Some connections have direct DC supply from battery. Like bilge pump and one so called night light. At least my 325 is so built. So when you turn kill switch there will be some power on DC panel.

Hope you recovered from lightnig and sorted out issue.
