4.6 Battery Charger Operation
Your boat is equipped with two battery char-
gers. The forty amp charger charges the
house, electronics and bow thruster batter-
ies and is calibrated to provide the proper
charge levels for AGM batteries. The twenty
amp charger maintains the engine batteries
and is calibrated to provide the proper
charge levels for lead acid batteries. Chang-
ing the battery specification will require reca-
libration of the battery chargers. The battery
chargers are located under the mid berth
settee.
At dockside, when the boat is connected to
shore power, the battery chargers maintain
the charge on the house, electronics and
bow thruster batteries. When operating on
the generator, the house battery charger
must be on to maintain charge to the batter-
ies. The generator charging system does
not generate enough current to keep up
with the electrical demand of the house and
electronics batteries.
The wires that supply DC charging current to
the batteries are protected by an internal
fuse in the battery chargers 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 MDP. Push to reset
the breakers. The internal fuses in the char-
ger protect the DC charging circuit from the
charger to the batteries.
4.7 Shore Power Connection
Connecting Shore Power
The shore power system is designed to be
connected to a single 240V/50A (230V/32A
for CE) shore outlet. Boats equipped with
240V/50A systems are supplied with a
reverse Y-adapter to make a connection
between the 50 amp shore power cord and
two 120V/30A outlets when a 50 amp outlet
is not available. These 30 amp outlets must
be on separate breakers. No other adapters
are recommended or will supply sufficient
current to operate the boat's systems.
Turn the AC main breaker to the “OFF” posi-
tion. If the dockside outlet(s) includes a dis-
connect switch(es), turn it to the “OFF”
position also.
