The shore power cord is to be taken with you, do not leave it on the dock. DO NOT drop
the shore power cord in the water, or leave it in the rain, etc. If this happens, do not plug
it in. Advise the Sailing Center Staff immediately.
Make sure you unplug the
shore side
first to prevent exposing a charged cord over or in the water. When replacing it, run shore
power along the boat closest to the dock box.
In the port aft cabin along the transom wall is the shore power main breaker. The small
LED light indicator next to the switch should be bright green when shore power is
connected and engaged. Make sure the charger breaker is on and the shore breaker on the
control panel is switched from ship to shore and it is on. Also make sure that the Xantrex
display charging light is on.
Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI)
The AC outlets are equipped with GFI, which protects against electrocution. If the GFI
system detects a condition that could indicate that a person is receiving an electrical
shock, it shuts off the power extremely rapidly. The system is highly sensitive, and
therefore can be triggered by the moisture present in the boat.
If an AC outlet has no power, verify that the AC control panel has power and that the
OUTLET breaker is on. Then check for an AC outlet that has a griggered GFI (a small
button that has popped out). The GFI may be on the dead outlet or on another outlet. (A
GFI-equipped outlet can protect a string of outlets). Push the button back in and power is
restored to all outlets in the string.
