• Care And Maintenance
1. Outriggers should be washed with freshwater, mild soap, and a soft cloth. Never use
abrasive cleaners on outriggers.
2. A periodic waxing is suggested if your outriggers are exposed to salt water. The wax will
provide a protective coating and seal the pores of the metal. A non-abrasive high quality
marine or automotive wax is recommended. Before storage, clean and wax the outriggers.
3. During assembly, grease all threads, bolts, and tubes where one section is inserted into
another. Disassemble and regrease all applicable surfaces on an annual basis.

The shore 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 shore 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 Shore 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 shore power cable at the boat inlet first.
5. Connect the shore 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 Shore Power
1. Switch all circuit breakers at the boat’s AC panel off.
C A U T I O N
Always disconnect the shore 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 shore
power cable, and have a qualified electrician correct the fault.
