Meant to mention that I relocated to a temporary slip during dock replacement. First month, no bill. The meter didn't register.
When I moved back to my old T-head, I recorded the meter reading at slip I vacated. The next day (about 24 hours) I look another reading. The meter registered usage when no boat was docked there. It's not supposed to register the night light. A few days later, I took the reading in my present slip and unplugged overnight. The morning reading was the same. There is a night light there as well.
This marina is full of stories of sailboats with $20 bills jumping to $150 or power boats registering $0 to $400 for a month. From time to time, I think about installing my own meter between shore power receptacle and power cord. Not sure if it's practical or not. Anyway, I've got enough on my plate already. What I do do is record the number monthly and at least make sure the marina invoice and the meter agree.
