Does it trip on earth leakage or overload? It sounds like the charger has slight earth leakage that is causing the earth leakage to trip. That could be caused by moisture around the inlet to the charger. It could bench test ok but when back in the boat just have enough earth leakage to trip the breaker.

Hi It trips out when switched on with or without the batteries connected getting a bit annoying as we use the boat every weekend I'm well stumped ?

Hello Chippyjohn,
Does it trip the breaker on the dock or the breaker in the boat? I assume it trips because of earth leakage and not because of overload.
Regards,
Trevor

Hi Trevor When it trips out on the boat it trips out on the pontoon On the switch panel I've got 240 shore power the battery charger and the water heater I've just taken panel out of the wall panel it's only the charger breaker that looks like it needs replacing as theirs a lot of burnt marks around the live and neutral terminals
