Make sure the shore power cord(s) you use is in
excellent condition with no cuts, nicks or abrasions
in the exterior plastic cover. Also make sure that the
cord(s) is specifically designed to connect your boat
to a shore power source. Using a damaged cord or a
cord that is not designed for this purpose can cause
electrical shock resulting in death or serious injury.
3. Locate your 50' shore power cord(s).
4. Connect the female end of the cord(s) to your boat's
shore power receptacle(s). The Line 1 and Line 2
receptacles are located on the port side of the stairs
that lead from the boarding platform to the aft
deck.
5. Secure the nonmetallic threaded locking ring that
locks each cord to the boat’s shore power receptacle.
This prevents the cord(s) from being accidentally
disconnected and from arcing due to a gap between
the cord plug and the receptacle.
Do not allow the end of the shore power cord(s) to
hang in the water. This can cause an electrical field
to form which can kill or seriously injure nearby
swimmers or passengers.
6. Choose a neat and safe way to route the shore
power cord(s) to the shore power source box.
7. Switch the circuit breaker that is installed in the
shore power source box "OFF".
8. Plug the male end of the shore power cord(s) into
the shore power source box.
9. Secure the nonmetallic threaded locking ring that
locks each cord to the shore power source outlet.
This prevents the cord(s) from being accidentally
disconnected and from arcing due to a gap between
the cord plug and the outlet.
10. Switch the circuit breaker that is installed in the
shore power source box "ON".
