12. If the red Polarity Reversed light(s) on the AC
Power Panel illuminates, disconnect the shore
power cord immediately. Notify marina manage-
ment of the reverse polarity problem and use a
different shore power source box.
If the green Polarity Reversed light(s) illuminates,
switch "ON" the AC Main Line 1 and AC Main Line
2 (if present) breakers on the AC Power Panel.
13. Monitor the voltmeter(s) and ammeter(s) while
your boat is connected to the shore power source.
The operation of the voltmeters and ammeters is
described later in this section.
Only people who are trained and experienced in work-
ing with electricity should service your boat's high
voltage AC electrical system. Inexperienced or un-
trained people may be killed or seriously injured by
incorrectly servicing the AC electrical system.
Always disconnect the boat from the shore power
source before attempting to service the AC electrical
system.
You can use the optional onboard generator to power
the boat’s AC electrical systems when a shore power
source is not available. The generator is installed in the
engine compartment between the two main stringers.
Fuel for the generator is drawn from the port 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
deep cycle battery. This battery is installed aft and
below the generator. Power to the generator from
this battery is controlled by an ON/OFF switch
mounted on the aft portion of the generator. Turn
this switch to the "ON" position.
