Be certain the water heater is full of water and does
not contain air. If the water heater is not full of wa-
ter, damage to the heating elements may result when
the electrical power is turned on to the unit.
Fig. 8.1 gives you a look at the shore power connection
on the transom of your boat.
Shown is the aft shore power connection.
Later on in this section, we will detail the steps to con-
necting your shore power. Lets take a look at more of the
shore power components.
8.1.2 Shore Power Cord
We have supplied you with a durable 50’ shore power
cord. The cord will have a male connection on one end
and a female connection on the other end. Do not use
chemicals to clean or service your shore power cord,
unless specified by the manufacturer. Follow the manu-
facturer’s recommendations on servicing or cleaning your
shore power cord.
8.1.3 Isolation Transformer
Beyond the shore power connection and the shore
power breaker, your AC power will be routed through the
Isolation Transformer. See the Mechanical Arrangement
Illustration for the location of the ISO Transformer.
The ISO Transformer is a standard “dry” type 12 KVA
transformer that basically isolates your boat from the
shore power. It is a valuable safety feature aboard your
boat.
8.1.4 Distribution Panel (MDP)
Here is a look at the distribution panel installed on your
boat. The distribution panels for both AC and DC power
are located behind the nav station seat.
8.1.5 Generator (Option)
The generator is a diesel powered engine, so there are
some safety rules for any type of fuel engine. Lets look at
some instructions of the wired remote control panel and
you can find more details on the generator’s instruction
manual.
