fuse in the battery charger and three circuit
breakers, one for each battery bank output
wire. The breakers protect the DC charging
circuit from the batteries to the charger. They
are located on the DC distribution panel.

4.7 Shore Power Connection
Connecting Shore Power
If you suspect the shore power connection
system is faulty or damaged, have a quali-
fied marine electrician check the system.
Turn the AC main breaker to "OFF" position.
If the dockside outlet includes a disconnect
switch, turn it to "OFF."
To avoid strain on the cable make sure it has
more slack than the mooring lines. Protect
the cable so it cannot be damaged by chaf-
ing between the boat and the dock. Keep the
cable from making contact with the water.
Then connect the cable to the boat connec-
tion plug and the dockside outlet. Make sure
the dockside 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 discon-
nect switch or circuit breaker to "ON."
Disconnecting Shore Power
Shore Power Breaker
Turn the main breaker on the AC panel and
the disconnect switch on the dockside outlet
to "OFF".
Disconnect the cable from the dockside out-
let and replace the outlet caps. Disconnect
the cable from the boat, close inlet cap and
stow cable.
4.8 Generator (Optional)
If your Pursuit boat is equipped with an
optional diesel generator, this generator is
not equipped with a DC charging system.
You must activate the battery charger to
maintain the starting battery (starboard
engine battery) and the house battery when-
ever the generator is running. Refer to gen-
erator manual for details on the generator
operation.
The generator is located in an enclosure in
the aft bilge. The generator compartment is
equipped with an automatic fire extinguisher
system and an automatic engine shutdown
system. Refer to the Safety Equipment.

death or serious injury. DO NOT
attempt to correct wiring yourself. DO
NOT swim in marinas or near boats

dren away from any electrical cables
