The dual 120V/30A shore power system provides
dockside power to operate all of your boat’s electrical
system and charge your batteries.
Use the supplied 50 ft. power cords to connect your
boat to a dockside power source. The on board
receptacles are located under the aft starboard
gunwale. The AC Main Breaker panel for the shore
power system is located on the starboard wall in the
cabin.
EXTREME HAZARD - Swimming near a boat
operating on an AC electrical system can lead to
severe shock and/or death. Never swim or allow
swimming when AC system is in use.

The shore power system on your boat includes an
ELCI (Equipment Leakage Circuit Interrupter)
located on the aft starboard gunnel (See figure
3.30.2).
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 Interruptor)
The receptacle will not protect against line-to-
line or line-to-neutral faults, short circuits or
overloads.
