AC System:
The AC system is 110VAC (same as what is in your house). This power is only
available when the boat is 'plugged-in" at the dock. The system consists of a 20m
cable which plugs into the 110V outlet on the dock and into the boat through the
anchor well. Power runs to the 110 circuit breakers located in the locker under the
sink in the head.
There are 3 circuit breakers:
1. Main. (shuts off the 110 system). When the 110 system is on, a small yellow light
will come on in the galley.
2. Outlet and charger: These control the power to the outlets. There is one outlet in
the galley and one in the head. Through these outlets you can run your hair dryer, TV
etc. This switch also controls the power to the battery charger, which is located behind
the refrigerator.
3. Hot water heater: This controls the power to an outlet in the engine compartment to
which the hot water heater is plugged in. (Located in the engine compartment on the
port side).
**DANGER**
Hot water circuit breaker must be off if how water tank or fresh water
tank is empty.
Otherwise you will burn out the hot water heater!
As a rule, you should always be aware of the state of your batteries and how much
electricity is being used. It is always advisable to conserve your power while cruising.
We recommend running the engine for 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the
evening.
