4.5 AC System (Optional)
The AC system is fed by the shore power outlet. It is equipped with an on-board galvanic isolation. The
galvanic isolator is equipped with a system status monitor. Refer to the galvanic isolator owner's manual.
All AC current is distributed to the AC accessories through individual circuit breakers located in the AC panel.
The main breaker in the panel protects the system from an overload and the reverse polarity light indicates
any problems due to an improper shore power supply. All AC outlets are protected by ground fault interrupters
to protect against electrical shock. A cord set is provided to supply power from the shore power outlet to the
boat’s AC shore power inlet.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK IN WET WEATHER, AVOID MAKING
CONTACT WITH THE SHORE CABLE OR MAKING A CONNECTION TO A LIVE SHORE
OUTLET. NEVER SPRAY WATER ON ELECTRICAL CABLES WHILE WASHING DOWN
DECKS.
TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT
THE AC GROUND SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND THAT A PROPER CON-
NECTION EXISTS BETWEEN THE SHORE POWER CORD, THE SHORE POWER INLET,
THE BOAT BONDING SYSTEM AND THE OUTLET GROUND CIRCUITS. IF THERE IS
ANY DOUBT ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUND CIRCUIT, A QUALIFIED MA-
RINE ELECTRICIAN SHOULD BE CONTACTED IMMEDIATELY AND THE AC SHOULD BE
DISCONNECTED UNTIL THE NECESSARY REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED.
CONNECTING PROCEDURE FOR SHORE POWER CONNECTION
Turn the AC main breaker to the “OFF” position. If the dockside outlet includes a
disconnect switch, turn it to the “OFF” position also.
To avoid strain on the cable make sure it has more slack than the mooring lines. Dress
the cable so that it cannot be damaged by chafing between the boat and the dock. Make
sure the cable does not come in contact with the water. Then connect the cable in the
plug inlet making sure the connection plug includes a three-prong plug with a ground
wire. Tighten the lock rings on both the shore and the boat connector plugs.
Turn the dockside disconnect switch or circuit breaker to the “ON” position and check
for proper polarity. If reverse polarity has been achieved, the red polarity indicator in the AC panel will light.
If this should happen, make sure the main breaker on the panel is in the “OFF” position and turn the dock power
switch or breaker off. A special relay attached to the main breaker should automatically turn the main breaker
off whenever reverse polarity is achieved. Notify a qualified electrician to check the wiring at the dock outlet.
If the red polarity light does not illuminate when power is supplied to the panel, the polarity is correct and
the AC main switch can be moved to the “ON” position.
SWIMMING NEAR A BOAT OPERATING ON AC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAN LEAD TO
SEVERE SHOCK AND DEATH. NEVER SWIM OR ALLOW SWIMMING WHEN THE AC
SYSTEM IS IN USE.
