SHORE POWER
CONNECTION
The shore power system requires a special,
marine-grade, three-conductor cable to make a
proper connection to the shore. Dockside
connections and the boatside connections are
plug-in. Boatside connections are also locked in
position with a threaded locking collar to prevent
accidental disconnection and enhance water
resistance. The shore power connection is located
at the port aft of your boat. Make sure the shore
power connection cover is in place when the shore
power connection is not in use.
To connect:
1. Turn off the boat’s shore power inlet breaker
switch located under the seat cushion, at the aft
port side of the cockpit of your boat.
2. If the outlet on the pier has a disconnect switch,
turn the switch off.
3. Connect the shore power cable at the boat first.
4. Make sure the cable has more slack than the
mooring lines.
5. Remove the cap from the outlet on the pier.
Connect the cable to the outlet.
6. Turn inlet breaker on. If the polarity is reversed,
the breaker will trip. Verify the connection. If it
continues to trip, disconnect the cable from the
shore outlet and see your authorized Cobalt
dealer.
To disconnect:
1. Turn off the boat’s shore power inlet breaker
switch.
2. If the shore outlet has a disconnect switch, turn
it to the OFF position.
3. Disconnect the shore power cord at the shore
outlet.
4. Disconnect the cable from the boat and close
the cap.
FRESH WATER
The freshwater system provides potable (drinkable)
water to the sink and transom shower. Refer to
Section 1
, Specifications, for the capacity of the
water system.
A
DANGER
Avoid fire, explosions, electrocution,
death or serious injury. Plugs and
receptacles for different systems are
designed in non-interchangeable
configurations. A plug from one system
cannot fit another system. Do not
modify a shore power cable. Use only
commercially available adapters for
system modification.

A
DANGER
Avoid fire, explosions, electrocution,
death or serious injury. Some marinas
have been known to "break" shore
power ground circuits to prevent
electrolysis.
Opening the ground circuit creates a
potentially dangerous onboard shock
hazard. Use caution when using a
"break" shore power ground circuit. If
polarity is reversed, immediately
disconnect shore power cable.
NOTICE: Avoid damage to the
electrical system and
components. Do not use AC-
powered equipment if voltage is
less than 105 volts.
