Section 3 • Systems & Components Overview & Operation
R
To obtain the most power for your appliances, it
is best to use the “GENERATOR” and “SHORE
POWER 2” combination which will deliver a higher
load capability.
REFER TO THE MANUFACTURER’S MANUAL IN
YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL PACKET FOR COMPLETE
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY.
Isolation Transformers
Your boat is equipped with isolation transformers.
The boat’s electrical system and grounding
conductor are not actually connected to the dockside
system. The isolation transformers transfer power
from the dockside electrical system to the boat’s
electrical system by magnetic coupling. This
means there is no direct electrical connection
between the earth-grounded shore AC power and
the boat AC power. Isolating the power this way
eliminates shock hazards to people swimming
around the boat and also mitigates the galvanic
corrosion caused by current flow in hard wired
systems.
The above statement pertains to the 370
Outrage ONLY.
Other boat systems may or may not provide
shock protection to swimmers.
NEVER ALLOW SWIMMING in close proximity to
other boats which may be running AC electrical
systems.
