Disconnecting Procedure for Shore Power Connection
Turn the main breaker on the AC panel and the disconnect switch on the dock side outlet to the
“OFF” positions.
Disconnect the cable from the dock side outlet and replace the outlet caps. Disconnect the cable
from the boat and close the inlet cap. Store cable.
AC Accessory Breaker Panel
The AC breaker panel is located in the head compartment. The following are descriptions of the
AC panel equipment and the breakers that protect the accessories:
AC Amp Meter
Indicates the total amperage or current being drawn through the AC panel. It is the total current
level of all of the 110-volt equipment in operation at the time.
AC Volt Meter
Indicates the voltage supplied to the panel.
AC Main Breaker
Protects the general distribution network. This breaker is very sensitive. The resulting power
surge that occurs when connecting the dock side 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. The AC panel also is equipped with a relay that will cause
the main breaker to trip when reverse polarity current is detected.
Reverse 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, disconnect
the shore power cable and notify a qualified electrician to check the dockside wiring.
Reverse Polarity Light Test Switch
There is a momentary switch located below the reverse polarity light in the AC breaker panel.
This switch is used to test the reverse polarity light to ensure that it is functioning. The light can
be tested by depressing the switch whenever the AC system is activated. The reverse polarity
light should be tested each time the AC system is activated. If the light does not activate when
the switch is pressed, disconnect the shore power cable and notify a qualified electrician to check
the light and the dockside wiring if necessary.
Battery Charger
Supplies electrical current directly to the automatic battery charger that is mounted in a
compartment below the helm. The battery charger automatically charges and maintains the 12-
volt batteries simultaneously when activated. See the battery charger manual for more
information.
