350 SPORT YACHT
If your boat is equipped with the optional genera-
tor, these switches are used to select either shore
power or the generator to supply 120-volt power
to the AC breaker panel. When connected to
dockside power, move the AC MAIN # 1 and AC
MAIN # 2 selector switches to the SHORE POWER
POSITION and activate the SHORE POWER main
breakers. When using the generator, move the
AC MAIN # 1 and AC MAIN # 2 selector switches
to the generator position and activate the GEN-
ERATOR main breakers. The main breakers must
be in the “OFF” position before the selector
switches can be moved to the GENERATOR or
SHORE POWER position.
AC Volt Meter
Indicates the voltage supplied to the panel. A
switch located near the meter selects to monitor
Shore Main # 1 or Shore Main # 2. You should
always check the voltage for each circuit before
activating the cabin AC accessories. If the meter
indicates 120-volts AC, the AC accessories can
be activated. If the meter indicates any voltage
other than 120-volts, do not activate the AC panel
breakers and contact the marina or a qualified
marine electrician for assistance.
Reversed Polarity Lights
The red lights indicate reverse polarity current
supplied to the panel for each circuit. This situa-
tion will cause the red light to remain lit. If re-
verse polarity is achieved, immediately turn off all
cabin AC breakers and dockside outlet breakers.
Disconnect the power cable from the dockside
outlet and notify a qualified marine electrician to
check the dockside wiring.
Reverse Polarity Light Test Switches
There is a momentary switch located next to the
reverse polarity lights in the AC breaker panel.
This switch is used to test the reverse polarity
light to ensure that it is functioning. The lights
can be tested by depressing the switch whenever
the AC system is activated. The reverse polarity
lights should be tested each time the AC system
is activated. If the light does not activate when
the switch is pressed, disconnect the shore power
cable and notify a qualified electrician to check
the light and the dockside wiring if necessary.
Battery Charger
Supplies electrical current directly to the auto-
matic battery charger. The fully automatic bat-
tery charger charges and maintains the 12-volt
batteries simultaneously when activated. See the
battery charger manual for more information.
The charge to the engine batteries can be moni-
tored by using the volt meters in the engine gauge
cluster. To monitor the engine batteries, activate
the charger and turn the engine battery switches
on. Turn the ignition key switch for each engine
to the “ON” position
(DO NOT START THE EN-
GINES) and read the voltage on the volt meter
for each engine. To monitor the House battery,
activate the charger and turn the House battery
switch on. Read the volt meter in the cabin DC
breaker panel. If the batteries are in good condi-
tion and charging properly, the volt meters will
indicate between 12 and 14.5 volts. If the read-
ing is below 12 volts, then the battery is not ac-
cepting a charge or the charger is not working
properly. Always turn the ignition switches off
immediately after the monitoring is complete. Re-
fer to the battery charger manual for more infor-
mation.
The wires that supply DC charging current to the
batteries are protected by an internal fuse in the
battery charger and four external breakers, one
for each battery output wire, located in the panel
near the battery switches. The external breakers
protect the DC charging circuit from the batteries
to the charger. The internal fuses in the charger
protect the DC charging circuit from the charger
to the batteries.
Water Heater
Supplies electrical current directly to the hot wa-
ter heater circuit. A thermostat in the water heater
control panel automatically controls the water tem-
perature. Before operation, you must have water
in the water heater. (See the water heater manual
for details)
Stove
Supplies 120-volt AC electrical current to the
stove in the galley.
Accessory
Reserved for additional AC equipment.

Cockpit Refrigerator/Ice maker
Supplies AC electrical current directly to the op-
tional ice maker or refrigerator when AC power is
available. See the ice maker manual for more
information.
