The dockside power feature allows the use of AC equipment on board the boat. This
equipment includes any permanently installed appliances such as a battery charger, inverter
charger, grill or air conditioner. The dockside power is utilized by connecting a heavy-duty cable,
supplied with the boat, to an appropriate external power source. This cable provides power to the
boat’s AC inlet that is wired to the AC panel. The AC panel allows for distribution to the battery
charger, grill and air conditioner.
Connecting The Dockside Power
1. Verify that the external power source is a 3 wire grounded system with amperage and
voltage ratings compatible with the boat’s AC system ratings.
2. Be sure there is sufficient cable length to allow for normal movement between the boat and
the dock.
3. Turn all AC panel switches to the “off” position. Turn the circuit breaker under the starboard
gunwale to off. Turn the circuit breaker at the dock outlet to off.
4. Connect the dockside power cable at the boat inlet first.
5. Connect the dockside power cable at the dock outlet and turn the dock outlet circuit breaker
to “on”.
6. Turn the circuit breaker under the starboard gunwale to the “on” position. Note: Test circuit
breaker monthly by pressing the test button and then resetting.
7. Turn the shore circuit breaker on the AC panel to the “on” position.
Disconnecting The Dockside Power
1. Switch all circuit breakers at the boat’s AC panel off.
2. Switch the circuit breaker under the starboard gunwale off.
3. Switch the circuit breaker off at the dock outlet.
4. Disconnect the dockside power cable at the dock outlet first.
5. Disconnect the dockside power cable at the boat inlet.
C A U T I O N
Always disconnect the dockside power cable if leaving the boat unattended for an extended period
of time.
W A R N I N G
If the reverse polarity indicator on the AC panel is activated, immediately disconnect the dockside
power cable, and have a qualified electrician correct the fault.
N O T I C E
Keep inlet cover closed tightly when not in use.
