Radio-Main Breaker Trip

[mrom1234567]

I Know this is not motor related. I purchased my boat with the radio leads connected to the battery terminals. Neg/Pos. However, every once in a while the main breaker would trip.(Flag type)<br />Only when i started it with the radio on. I have a secondary sub panel in the cabin,(Small box about 3"x6".) Should I hook the radio up this box? Is it a grounding problem? I have no other electronic problems. i just disconnected my radio.<br />Any suggestions? 1986 Grady Whits Sailfish<br />Michael

Re: Radio-Main Breaker Trip

Hi,<br />With out putting a meter on it I would hook it up to the inside box. Also check the circut it was hooked into. It sounds like the starter breaker<br />was haveing to many amps drawing through it. you may experiance static on your radio when you hook it in the box if it is not on its own circut.<br />Hope this helps.<br />corm
