If you are not in Germany or Italy, disconnect the shore power cord.
Notify marina management of the reverse polarity problem and use a
different shore power source box.
If the Polarity Safe indicator(s) illuminates, it is safe to proceed to
step 15.
15. On the AC Control Center, switch the Shore #1 and/or Shore #2 Main
circuit breaker(s) “ON.” Power is now available to the other AC
Control Center circuit breakers on that line.
16. Monitor the voltmeter(s) and ammeter(s) on the AC Control
Center while your boat is connected to the shore power source.
The operation of the voltmeter and ammeter is described later in
this section.
Only people who are trained and experienced in working with electricity
should service your boat’s high voltage AC electrical system. Inexperi-
enced or untrained people may be killed or seriously injured by incor-
rectly servicing the AC electrical system.
Always disconnect the boat from the shore power source and shut off the
generator before attempting to service the AC electrical system.
3.2.2 Generator Power
You can use the generator to power the boat’s AC electrical system when
a shore power source is not available. The generator is installed beneath
the center of the cockpit. Fuel for the generator is drawn from the star-
board fuel tank.
To start the generator:
1. Read, understand and follow the OEM information that describes
the generator.
2. The generator starter is powered by its own 12-volt battery. Turn the
generator battery master disconnect switch to the “ON” position.
Never turn the generator battery master disconnect switch to the “OFF”
position while the generator is operating. Doing this can damage the
generator or its alternator wiring.
