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.
4. Locate your 50' shore power cord(s) or your optional Cablemaster. If
you have a Cablemaster, proceed to step 7.
5. Connect the female end of the cord(s) to the boat’s shore power
receptacle(s). The receptacle(s) are located in the port transom locker.
If your boat has the optional forward shore power receptacle(s), these
are located on the forward starboard side deck.
6. 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.
7. Choose a neat and safe way to route the shore power cord(s) to the
shore power source box.
8. Switch the circuit breaker that is installed in the shore power source
box “OFF.”
9. Plug the male end of the shore power cord(s) into the shore power
source outlet.
10. 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.
11. Switch the circuit breaker that is installed in the shore power source
box “ON.”
12. Switch the AC Main circuit breaker group(s) “ON.”
