Gen/Shorepower Transfer Switch
I have a 1966 41TC. My Gen/Off/Shorepower transfer switch is bad. I cannot find a single pole 120 volt transfer switch that fits my electrical panel. It it an up/down switch, not a rotary switch.
If anyone knows where I can purchase one, let me know. I don't want to build or buy a whole new panel just for the one switch. A rotary switch I found at a local shop is too deep to fit in the panel.
My electrical panel is original Hatteras and original to the boat.

Repairable?
A picture?
Any mfg or part number on the switch?
Called Sam's yet?
Re: Gen/Shorepower Transfer Switch
The old one was a motor control switch and is not easy to find a replacement.
The rotary switch is a bit larger on the outside so the door may not close but it's a much better choice. There is no safe and reliable fix for the old switch.
Re: Gen/Shorepower Transfer Switch
Not repairable. They don't answer and won't reply back to messages. Boat is 2 hours away. I cannot see any numbers on it.It looks like a huge light switch,

Re: Gen/Shorepower Transfer Switch
Do your transfer switch description makes me think of the ones I have on my 47 Commander for the HVAC load source.(three black toggle switches in photo below) These are DPDT and carry 30A each.
I have been told these are still available at electrical supply houses.

That's exactly what they look like.

You need a 2 pole for hot and neutral.

Re: Gen/Shorepower Transfer Switch
I thought that was, what it could be. Had a bunch of them on an ole CC Roamer I used to work on. They went to all the A C units.
Wow, shore / gen transfer switch? More heavy duty than I thought.
