110-Volt AC System
•
To gain a basic understanding of
your yacht’s 110-volt AC sys-
tem, read the handbook, A
Boater’s Guide To AC Electrical
Systems. If this handbook is not
in your owner’s packet, call
360-403-2198 and the hand-
book will be mailed to you.
•
The 110-volt AC system can be
energized by shore power or
generator power.
•
The individual breakers on the
110-volt AC master panel must
be turned On to supply power to
the accessories you wish to use.
•
The 110-volt AC master panel
may contain circuit breakers for
accessories that are not avail-
able for your yacht.
FIRE and ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
If equipped with a generator, using both shore power and generator power at the same time
WILL cause major electrical system damage and could start a fire!
•
The power source lockouts on the 110-volt AC master panel prevent the use of shore power
and generator power at the same time.
•
NEVER bypass the power source lockouts.
WARNI N G! !
WATER HEATER DAMAGE HAZARD!
•
Do NOT turn On the water heater circuit breaker on the 110-volt AC master panel until the
water heater tank is COMPLETELY filled with water.
•
The tank is full if water flows from the tap when the hot water is turned On in the galley.
•
Even brief water heater operation with a dry tank WILL damage the heating elements.
•
Warranty replacements will NOT be made on elements damaged in this manner.
CAUTI ON !
•
Whether using shore power or generator power, using several 110-volt AC accessories at the
same time can result in an overloaded circuit.
•
You may have to turn Off one or more accessories to use another accessory.
