Shore Power
•
Your yacht features two standard-equipped
120v/30 amp shore power receptacles (located
inside the starboard transom stowage tub).
•
The shore power inlets are labeled line 1 and
line 2, which corresponds to the line 1 and line
2 master breakers on the AC panel.
•
This system is designed so that each line
operates independent of each other.
If your yacht is equipped with an optional air conditioning system, a single 50 amp inlet may be installed in place of
the two standard 30 amp inlets. Electricity from the single 50 amp inlet (240 volt) is evenly distributed to both line 1
and line 2 master breakers (120 volt) on the AC panel. This system is designed so that each line operates independent
of each other. The voltage on each line can be read by setting the voltmeter selector switch.
Connecting To Shore Power
1. Monitor the AC panel’s polarity indicator lights (next to the line 1 and line 2 master breakers) as follows:
•
A green light illuminating after the power cord is plugged into the yacht’s external power receptacle
indicates acceptable electrical power in which you may energize the main breaker switches.
•
A red light, however, indicates reversed polarity, which could cause electrical system damage and possibly
electrical shock injuries. In this case, do not energize the main breaker switches (see warning that follows).
2. Activate the AC system by turning the main ship/shore breaker to the dockside position.
3. Turn ON the master breaker and individual component breakers as required.

NOTI C E
Some dockside installations may be rated less than 30 amps, therefore, you may need to pur-
chase lower amp adapters. Whenever a lower amp adapter is used, however, there will be a
corresponding drop in supplied power from the dockside system.
FIRE, EXPLOSION & SHOCK HAZARDS!
•
DO NOT alter shore power connectors and use only compatible connectors.
•
Before connecting or disconnecting the shore power cord to your yacht, verify all breakers
and switches on the AC master panel are in the OFF position.
•
To prevent shock or injury from an accidental dropping of the “hot” cord into the water,
ALWAYS attach the shore power cord to the boat inlet first; then to the dockside connec-
tion. When disconnecting from shore power, disconnect the shore power cord from the
dockside connection first.
•
NEVER leave a shore power cord connected to the dockside connection only.
•
Only use shore power cords approved for marine use. NEVER use ordinary indoor or
outdoor extension cords that are not rated for marine use.
DANGER!
!
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARDS!
•
NEVER connect dockside power to your yacht outside North America unless you have
purchased the international electrical conversion option.
•
The simultaneous use of several AC components can result in an overloaded circuit. It may
be necessary to turn off one or more accessories in order to use another accessory.
•
Use double insulated or three-wire protected electrical appliances whenever possible.
