Owner’s Manual Supplement
Connecting to Shore Power
1.
Monitor the AC panel’s polarity indicator lights (next to the line 1 and line 2 master breakers) as follows:
•
A GREEN light illuminating after the power cord is plugged into the boats external power receptacle indi-
cates acceptable electrical power in which you may energize the main breaker switches.
•
A RED light, however, indicates reversed polarity, which could cause electrical system damage and possi-
bly electrical shock injuries. In this case, DO NOT energize the main breaker switches (see warning
below).
2.
Activate the AC system by turning the main ship/shore breaker to the “DOCKSIDE” position.
3.
Turn ON the master breakers and individual component breakers as required.
Navigation & Communication Equipment
The owner’s packet contains operation manuals for all navigation & communication equipment installed on your
boat. Thoroughly read and understand these manuals before using these systems. Additionally, read the warnings
below carefully and follow all safety recommendations.
VHF Radio (Option)
Your boat may include an optional VHF (Very High Frequency) radio at the helm. The VHF radio can be used to
access weather reports, summon assistance or contact other vessels as permitted by the FCC (Federal Communica-
tions Commission). Be sure to contact the FCC for licensing, rules and regulations concerning VHF radio usage.
Compass (Option)
N OT I C E
Some dockside installations may be rated less than 30 amps, therefore, you may need to pur-
chase lower amp adapters. Whenever a lower amp adapter is used, however, there will be a cor-
responding drop in supplied power from the dockside system.
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
•
Monitor the polarity indicator lights EVERY TIME you connect to shore power.
•
When connecting to shore power and you encounter a reversed polarity light (RED), DO
NOT energize the main breaker switches. Instead, IMMEDIATELY disconnect the shore
power cord (ALWAYS from the dockside receptacle first) and notify marina management.
WA R N I N G !
!
The voltage on each line can be read by setting the voltmeter selector switch.
N OT I C E
Compass accuracy can be affected by many factors. Have a qualified technician calibrate your
compass. Make sure the technician gives you a deviation card which shows the corrections to
apply in navigational calculations. Keep a copy of the deviation card at the helm.
