Shore Power Hookup
Before making shore power connections make sure
your boat is properly moored.
• Connect the female connector to the boat
receptacle first.
• Next connect the male connector to the
dockside panel.
• C h e c k b r e a k e r p a n e l . D O N O T
continue if the “REVERSE” light is on.
Remove cord set and report the
situation to the dockmaster.
• If the reverse polarity light is not on, switch
the shore power breaker ON (Fig. 3.15.1).
In addition to supplying alternative power to your
boat, shore power hookup gives you the ability to
charge your batteries without running the engines.
The system is automatic and little or no maintenance
is required.
REFER TO THE MANUFACTURER’S MANUAL IN
YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL PACKET FOR COMPLETE
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY.
If equipped with shore power the system includes
an Equipment Leakage Circuit Interrupter (ELCI)
located on aft wall portside in the aft cockpit (See
figure 3.14.1).
The ELCI is designed to protect people from line-
to-ground shock hazards which may occur from
defective, misused or neglected electrical equipment.
The ELCI will not prevent line-to-ground electric
shock, but does limit the time of exposure to a
period considered safe for normal healthy persons.
If an imbalance of current is sensed, the ELCI will
trip when the ground fault exceeds 0.030 amps.
This tripping action will occur within a fraction of a
second to prevent serious injury.
ELCI
(Equipment Leakage Circuit Interrupter)
The receptacle will not protect against line-to-
line or line-to-neutral faults, short circuits or
overloads.
