SWIMMING NEAR A BOAT OPERATING ON AC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAN LEAD TO
SEVERE SHOCK AND DEATH. NEVER SWIM OR ALLOW SWIMMING WHEN AC SYS-
TEM IS IN USE.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE WIRING YOURSELF. ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN
CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. ALWAYS HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
CHECK WIRING.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM ANY ELECTRICAL CABLES OR EQUIPMENT AND AL-
WAYS USE GROUNDED APPLIANCES ON BOARD YOUR BOAT.
DO NOT OPERATE THE AC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FROM SHORE POWER WITH RE-
VERSE POLARITY. REVERSE POLARITY WILL DAMAGE THE SYSTEM AND EXPOSE
PASSENGERS TO ELECTROCUTION HAZARDS. THIS CONDITION COULD ALSO CAUSE
A FIRE IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
DISCONNECTING PROCEDURE FOR SHORE POWER CONNECTION
Turn the main breaker on the AC panel to the “OFF” position.
Turn the disconnect switch on the dockside outlet to the “OFF” position.
Disconnect the cable from the dockside outlet and replace the outlet caps. Disconnect the cable from the boat
and replace the inlet cap. Store cable.
AC PANEL AND ACCESSORY OPERATION
The AC panel is located below the helm in the console storage
compartment. The following are descriptions of the AC panel
equipment and the breakers that protect the accessories:
AC Main Breaker
Protects the general distribution network. This breaker is very
sensitive. The resulting power surge that occurs when connecting
the dockside cord may cause the main breaker to trip. To avoid
this surge, always turn the main breaker to the “OFF”
position before plugging or unplugging the shore power
cord.
Polarity Light
The red light indicates reverse polarity current supplied to the panel. This situation will cause the red light
to remain lit. Additionally, a special relay attached to the main breaker will automatically turn the main
breaker off whenever reverse polarity is achieved. If reverse polarity is achieved, immediately turn off all
cabin AC breakers and dockside outlet breakers and notify a qualified electrician to check the dockside wiring.
