Specifications

B. Interior Equipment
The MAIN circuit breaker protects all12 volt distribution
circuitry. There are also individual circuit breakers for
items such as the refrigerator, stereo, inte rior lights, etc.
A separate fuse may be mounted
in the cockpit when
the optional cockpit washdown system
is installed.
Section G has additional information regarding the
cockpit washdown system.
C. Head Electrical Equipment .
Shower Pump - Shower pumps are used to discharge
shower water overboard. The shower pump is acti-
vated either by a manually-operated switch that
is
located near the shower or by an automatic sump
system.
f the boat is equipped with a Switch labeled SHOWER,
place this Switch
in the ON position to activate the
shower pump and thereby discharge shower drain·
water overboard; place this Switch in the OFF position
when done.
If the boat is equipped with a shower sump system,
shower water will automatically be discharged over-
board
as soon as the water level in the shower water
sump reaches a level that will cause the float switch
in
thesumpto riseto a predeternined level. Thepumpwill
automatically shutdown when shower water ceases to
flow.
NOTE: Regardless of the type of shower pump activa-
tion with which the boat is equipped, the Shower Circuit
Breaker must be in the on position for either system to
function.
Pressure Water - Water is delivered to all output
devices, e.g., faucets. by meansof pressure. Pressure
to deliver the water
is created by the Pressure Water
Pump. The pressure water pump will operate automati-
cally on-demand
as long as the Pressure Pump circuit
breaker is
in the ON position. When the water tanks
aboard the boat are empty, place the pressure pump
circuit breaker in the OFF position.
NOTE:
If the boat is not equipped with a Water Level
Gauge, water level can be determined by viewing the
water tank. Watertanks are normally located below the
floor in the bilge area and can be accessed by removing
the related floor panel. See the locator drawing
in
Section 0 for exact location of the water tank(s).
D. Installation of Additional 12 Volt Equipment
Negative and positive terminal blocks are installed near
the helm switch panel. Leads for non-factory installed
12 volt accessories can be connected to these terminal
blocks.
All of the items listed in section E-5A, B & Care
protected at the main circuit breaker or fuse panel.
Fuses or circuit breakers for the voltmeter and auto-
matic bilge pump are located near the Battery Selector
Switch. The instrument and ignition fuses
or circuit
breakers are located on the helm control panel.

120 (220) VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The boat may be equipped with 30 amp, 120 volt,
60
Hertz (or 15 amp, 220 volt, 50 Hertz) AC electrical
wiring. When the boat is connected to a shore power
outlet, the
AC system supplies electrical ower to items
such as dual voltage refrigerators. stoves, battery
chargers, and receptacles. See the Locator Drawing in
Section
0 for exact location of the Dockside recep-
tacles.
E-7 AC SYSTEM GENERAL INFORMATION
The dockside system uses three-wire, color-coded
circuitry. The black or hot wire
is the ungrounded
current carrying conductor. The white
or neutral wire is
the grounded current carrying conductor. The bare
copper
or green wire, referred to as the "equipment
ground," is a grounded conductor, and under normal
conditions
is not a current carrying wire. The neutral
wires are connected together at a buss bar. The
equipment grounds are similarly connected together
at
another buss bar. Each hot wire is connected to, and
protected by, a circuit breaker
in the distribution box.
The distribution box houses the system circuit break-
ers. The standard dockside system has a MAIN circuit
breaker which protects the overall distribution network.
The main breaker protects both the hot and neutral
input leads. The MAIN breaker will also trip if reverse
polarity should occur. . This breaker
is very sensitive.
The resulting power surge which occu
rs when connect-
