DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE WIRING YOURSELF. ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN
CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. ALWAYS HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
CHECK WIRING.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM ANY ELECTRICAL CABLES OR EQUIPMENT AND AL-
WAYS USE GROUNDED APPLIANCES ON BOARD YOUR BOAT.
DO NOT OPERATE THE AC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FROM SHORE POWER WITH RE-
VERSE POLARITY. REVERSE POLARITY WILL DAMAGE THE SYSTEM AND EXPOSE
PASSENGERS TO ELECTROCUTION HAZARDS. THIS CONDITION COULD ALSO CAUSE
A FIRE IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
DISCONNECTING PROCEDURE FOR SHORE POWER CONNECTION
Turn the main breaker on the AC panel to the “OFF” position.
Turn the disconnect switch on the dockside outlet to the “OFF” position.
Disconnect the cable from the dockside outlet and replace the outlet caps. Disconnect the cable from the boat
and replace the inlet cap. Store cable.
AC PANEL AND ACCESSORY OPERATION
The AC panel is mounted on the cabin bulkhead. The following are descriptions of the AC panel equipment
and the breakers that protect the accessories:
AC Main Breaker
Protects the general distribution network. This breaker is very
sensitive. The resulting power surge that occurs when con-
necting the dockside cord may cause the main breaker to trip.
To avoid this surge, always turn the main breaker to the
“OFF” position before plugging or unplugging the
shore power cord.
Polarity Light
The red light indicates reverse polarity current supplied to the
panel. This situation will cause the red light to remain lit.
Additionally, a special relay attached to the main breaker will
automatically turn the main breaker off whenever reverse
polarity is achieved. If reverse polarity is achieved, immediately turn off all cabin AC breakers and dockside
outlet breakers and notify a qualified electrician to check the dockside wiring.
Reverse Polarity Light Test Switch
There is a momentary switch located next to the reversed polarity light in the AC breaker panel. This switch
is used to test the reverse polarity light to ensure that it is functioning. The light can be tested by depressing
the switch whenever the AC system is activated. The reverse polarity light 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.
