Macerator

Supplies electrical current to the switch that controls the macerator overboard discharge pump for the holding

tank. This breaker should be in the “off” position except when pumping out the holding tank.

Refer to the Interior Equipment chapter for additional information on the

operation of the overboard macerator discharge system.

Electric Head

This switch operates the optional electric head.

Water Pressure

Supplies 12-volt current directly to the fresh water pump. The pressure

switch automatically controls the water pump when the system is activated.

4.5 AC System (Optional)

The AC system is fed by the shore power outlet. It is equipped with an on-board galvanic isolation. The

galvanic isolator is equipped with a system status monitor. Refer to the galvanic isolator owner's manual.

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 shore power inlet.

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.

CONNECTING PROCEDURE FOR SHORE POWER 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
