AC Electrical System (2359 FB)
Your boat may come equipped with an optional AC (alternating current) system
which is energized from shore power. Shore power is supplied to your boat using a
120v/30 amp shore power receptacle.
Connecting to Shore Power
DANGER
FIRE, EXPLOSION & SHOCK HAZARD!
• DO NOT alter shore power connectors and use only compatible connectors.
• Before connecting or disconnecting the shore power cord to your boat, verify
all breakers and switches on the AC master panel are turned OFF.
• To prevent shock or injury from an accidental dropping of the “hot” cord into
the water, ALWAYS attach the shore power cord to the boat inlet first; then to
the dockside connection. When disconnecting from shore power, disconnect
the shore power cord from the dockside connection first.
• NEVER leave a shore power cord connected to the dockside connection only.
• Only use shore power cords approved for marine use. NEVER use ordinary
indoor or outdoor extension cords that are not rated for marine use.
DANGER!
!
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
You must monitor the reversed polarity indicator light EVERY TIME you con-
nect to shore power. When connecting to shore power and you encounter a
reversed polarity light, DO NOT energize the main breaker switch. Instead,
immediately disconnect the shore power cord (from the dockside receptacle
first) and notify marina management.
WARNING!
!
CAUTION!
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
• NEVER connect dockside power to your boat outside North America, unless
you have purchased the international electrical conversion option.
• The simultaneous use of several AC components can cause an overloaded cir-
cuit. You may have to turn off one or more accessories in order to use another
accessory.
• Only use double insulated or three-wire protected electrical appliances.
• Periodically check the shore power cord(s) for deterioration or damage. Dam-
aged or faulty cords should NEVER be used since the danger of fire and elec-
trical shock exists.
