generator switch over
I had some work done on my generator and on the weekend the generator started and ran great, but did not provide any power. Is there a switch to change from shore power? This is on our Mariner 350.

Re: generator switch over
There is a breaker ( maybe white double switch) on the side of the black box at the back top of the generator, check that first to see if it is engaged...guy maybe shut it off while working on it...... 
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.

Re: generator switch over
Thank you very much, I will check that out next time at the marina. I believe once turned on it automatically switches when plugged in to shore power.

Re: generator switch over
Alway ask the stupid question!!!! just in case. Did you turn on the shore power breaker(s) on the AC panel after the the generator was started? Sometimes they will trip during the genny startup.
