1. Shore/Generator Switch
7. Set the shore disconnect switch in the ON
position.
8. If the reverse polarity warning light on the
Cabin Distribution Panel is activated,
immediately disconnect the cable from the
shore outlet and contact your Cobalt dealer.
To Disconnect:
NOTICE: If your boat is equipped with
an optional generator and you wish to
keep the AC appliances operating
while underway, start the generator
and turn the selector switch to
GENERATOR and skip Step 1.
1. Turn OFF the boat’s two main circuit breakers.
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.
!
WARNING
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.

Your Cobalt Performance Cruiser is equipped with
an isolation transformer which isolates shore
power from the boat’s AC electrical system,
reducing galvanic corrosion and the risk of
electrical shock.
For further information regarding your shore
power system, please consult your Cobalt dealer.
The AC portion of the distribution panel receives
AC power from the shore power cable, optional
generator or optional inverter. The panel
distributes AC power through a double-pole main
circuit breaker which in turn supplies the individual
branch circuit breakers.
AC electricity operates the following equipment:
●
Electrical outlets
● Microwave
●
Stove
● Battery charger
● Water heater
● Air conditioning
The 110 VAC system consists of inlet breakers
located in the aft, port motor box storage area, a
shore/generator selector switch located above the
distribution panel in cabin which contains a
voltmeter, ammeter, two main circuit breakers and
a series of switch-type circuit breakers.
The voltmeter monitors the AC voltage. Damage
can occur to your equipment if the voltage is less
than 105 volts. Do not use AC powered equipment
if voltage is less than 105 volts.
The ammeter displays total amperage.
The main circuit breaker switch controls the
individual component circuit breakers below it.
This allows you to check for proper voltage and
polarity immediately after making the shore power
cable connection without damaging any
equipment.
The reversed polarity light indicates if the polarity
of the shore power has been reversed.
