TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK IN WET WEATHER, AVOID MAK-
ING 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 CONNECTION 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 MARINE ELECTRICIAN SHOULD BE CONTACT-
ED IMMEDIATELY AND THE AC SYSTEM 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 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.
