Generator Power Transfer Switch
I am considering the installation of an automatic power transfer switch with a time delay on our Navion 24G. This arrangement would bypass the 30 Amp outlet and power cord. This arrangement would elim...

This is the unit I put in our new Sunseeker: PD5110010 120 VAC 30-Amp Automatic Transfer Switch.
There's two inputs and one output - one input used the terminals in NC (Normally Closed) position, the second input energizes the relay, thus those are NO (Normally Open). A circuit module built into the unit delays the output transfer for 20 - 45 seconds.

I put the generator on the NO input so it would energize only when the generator was running. The shore cord connects to the NC inputs, thus the relay is not energized. The generator will be used for about 0.5% of the time vs connected to shore power.
The terminals are labeled for the various inputs. You shouldn't have any difficulty installing it if you are comfortable with basic wiring.
