should be lit whenever someone is occupying the cabin. If the breaker has tripped, it indicates that there is

a problem with the carbon monoxide detector, the breaker, or the wiring from the breaker panel to the detector.

Always determine the cause of the problem and correct it before resetting the breaker.

CARBON MONOXIDE IS A LETHAL, TOXIC GAS THAT IS COLORLESS AND ODORLESS.

IT IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT WILL CAUSES DEATH IN CERTAIN LEVELS.

4.5 AC System (Optional)

The AC system is fed by the shore power outlet. It is wired totally separate from the 12-volt DC system and

is equipped with an onboard galvanic isolation system. All AC current is distributed to the AC accessories

through individual circuit breakers located in the AC panel. The main breaker in the panel protects the system

from an overload and the reverse polarity light indicates any problems due to an improper shore power supply.

All AC outlets are protected by ground fault interrupters to protect against electrical shock. A cord set is

provided to supply power from the shore power outlet to the boat’s AC system.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK IN WET WEATHER, AVOID MAKING

CONTACT WITH THE SHORE CABLE OR MAKING A CONNECTION TO A LIVE SHORE

OUTLET. NEVER SPRAY WATER ON ELECTRICAL CABLES WHILE WASHING DOWN

DECKS.

TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT

THE AC GROUND SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND THAT A PROPER CON-

NECTION EXISTS BETWEEN THE SHORE POWER CORD, THE SHORE POWER INLET,

THE BOAT BONDING SYSTEM AND THE OUTLET GROUND CIRCUITS. IF THERE IS

ANY DOUBT ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUND CIRCUIT, A QUALIFIED MA-

RINE ELECTRICIAN SHOULD BE CONTACTED IMMEDIATELY AND THE AC SHOULD BE

DISCONNECTED UNTIL THE NECESSARY REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED.

RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE FOR MAKING A SHORE CONNECTION

Turn the AC main breaker to the “OFF” position. If the dockside outlet includes

a disconnect switch, turn it to the “OFF” position also.

To avoid strain on the cable make sure it has more slack than the mooring lines. Dress

the cable so that it cannot be damaged by chafing between the boat and the dock.

Make sure the cable does not come in contact with the water. Then connect the cable

in the plug inlet making sure the connection plug includes a three-prong plug with

a ground wire. Tighten the lock rings on both the shore and the boat connector plugs.

Turn the dockside disconnect switch or circuit breaker to the “ON” position and

check for proper polarity. If reverse polarity has been achieved, the red polarity indicator in the AC panel

will light. If this should happen, make sure the main breaker on the panel is in the “OFF” position and turn

the dock power switch or breaker off. A special relay attached to the main breaker should automatically turn

the main breaker off whenever reverse polarity is achieved. Notify a qualified electrician to check the wiring

at the dock outlet. If the red polarity light does not illuminate when power is supplied to the panel, the polarity

is correct and the AC main switch can be moved to the “ON” position.
