9. To change from generator to shore power, switch
"OFF" the AC Main Line 1 and AC Main Line 2 (if
present) breakers on the AC Power Panel. Then
connect to shore power as described earlier in this
section.
Do not inhale generator exhaust. Generator exhaust
contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas. Refer
to the "Carbon Monoxide Warnings for Gasoline
Engines" portion of Section 1 for more information
on engine exhaust and carbon monoxide.
AC power is managed throughout your boat using one or
two circuit breaker panels.
• AC Electrical System Circuit Breaker
• AC Power Panel
The circuit breakers on these panels enable you to
control the electricity to the boat’s various AC electrical
systems by switching the breakers ON or OFF. They
also protect the AC electrical system by automatically
disconnecting the circuit from the power source in the
event of a short or overload.
Never reset a breaker that has been automatically
tripped without first correcting the problem. Failure to
follow this procedure may create a dangerous situa-
tion.
NOTE: Sometimes a circuit breaker location is labeled
but no circuit breaker is present. In this case, the compo-
nent named on the label is an option that is not installed
on your boat.
If your boat was built for use in Europe, it has an AC
Electrical System circuit breaker located inside the
storage area next to the berth’s headboard in the aft
stateroom. This breaker controls AC power to all of the
AC systems in the boat. Switch this breaker "ON" to
provide power to the AC Power Panel.
