To connect to shore power, plug the 30 amp POWER CORD into the boat and then into the dock receptacle. Check
the power rating/plug size of the nearest dock receptacle (that is 50 amps, 30 amps, 20 amps, or 15 amps). If
necessary, add a CORD ADAPTER located at the end of the shore power cord. Turn the dock power on. Cords
coming off the bow can be wrapped
loosely
around the bow line.
At the ELECTRICAL PANEL, flip the SHORE CIRCUIT
BREAKER on. Then turn on appropriate breakers for battery
charger, refrigeration and water heater. Watch your amp
meter for load. If the load exceeds circuit amperage, you will
pop your breaker. If this occurs, wait to turn on one of your
systems (i.e. water heater) until your use of amps drop. On
30 amp power, you will usually not be able to use more than
one or two devices that consume lots of AC power (hair
dryer, microwave, space heater, hot water heater, and
vacuum).
If your outlets fail to work, check your GFIs to make sure
that they have not been tripped. GFI protected outlets are in
galley, both heads and aft port salon. Other circuits may be
connected to them also so if an outlet doesn’t work, check
the GFI’s.
