Reverse Polarity Problem

Got a new Lagoon 380 and ran my Honda 3000 generator. When plugged into 110 circuit, the reverse polarity light glows brightly. When I plug the same cord into the AC circuit, no reverse polarity light comes on. So seems like the boat's 110 circuit has the reverse polarity issue. Right? how to I diagnose and fix it?

Any input welcome.

Bob

If you scan down to the bottom of this page you will see a number of links to reverse polarity threads. Let us know how you make out.

Isn't the 110 volt circuit the AC circuit? Or by AC do you maybe mean air con?

Anyway AFAIK there really isn't such a thing as "reverse polarity" in alternating current. The +ve and -ve swap poles a few dozen times a second.
