3070 CENTER CONSOLE
Recommended procedure for making a shore connection
Turn the AC main breaker to the “OFF” position. If the dock side 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 boat plug inlet and the dockside
outlet, 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 dock side 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,
turn the dock power switch or breaker off and disconnect the power cable. A special relay
attached to the main breaker should automatically turn the main breakers 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.
DO NOT OPERATE THE AC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FROM SHORE POWER WITH
REVERSE POLARITY. REVERSE POLARITY WILL DAMAGE THE SYSTEM AND
EXPOSE PASSENGERS TO ELECTROCUTION HAZARDS. THIS CONDITION COULD
ALSO CAUSE A FIRE IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
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
ALWAYS USE GROUNDED APPLIANCES ON BOARD YOUR BOAT.
UNDETECTED FAULTS IN THE AC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COULD CAUSE THE
WATER AROUND THE BOAT TO BECOME ENERGIZED. THIS COULD CAUSE A
SEVERE SHOCK OR EVEN DEATH TO SOMEONE IN THE WATER NEAR THE
BOAT. NEVER SWIM OR ALLOW SWIMMING AROUND THE BOAT WHEN THE
AC SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED BY THE GENERATOR OR THE SHORE POWER CON-
NECTION.
