My 2005 40 PC is on land and I want to charge batteries before putting boat in water. Each time I try the 20 AMP GFI outlet near my boat, the outlet unit trips or the main AC switches on the boat trips. Dockside 30 AMP would work but too far away; but I need to be able to power the engines to leave the loading dock. What is the best way to charge batteries? Would a portable automobile charger unit (such as ones used by AAA) work?
How do I get around preventing GFI from tripping? Is there a breaker I need to turn off on board the boat?
