Electrical System

Dress the cable so that it can’t be damaged
by chafing between the boat and the dock.
Make sure the cable doesn’t come in contact
with the water.
Connect the cable in the boat plug inlet and
the dockside outlet, making sure the con-
nection 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 the polarity is reversed, the red polarity
indicator in the AC panel will light. If it does,
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 automatically
turns the main breaker off whenever polarity
is reverses. Notify a qualified electrician to
check the wiring at the dock outlet.
If the red polarity light does not illuminate
when supplied with power to the panel, the
polarity is correct. Move the AC main switch
to the “ON” position.
Disconnecting Procedure for Shore
Power
Turn the main breaker on the AC panel and
the disconnect switch on the dockside outlet
to the “OFF” positions.
Disconnect the cable from the dockside out-
let and replace the outlet caps. Disconnect
the cable from the boat and close the inlet
cap. Store cable.

DANGER
Swimming near a boat operating on
an AC electrical system can lead to
severe shock and death. Never swim
or allow swimming when the AC sys-
tem is in use.
!
WARNING
Do not attempt to correct the wiring
yourself. Electric shock can cause
severe injury or even death. Always
have a qualified electrician check wir-
ing.
!
DANGER
Keep children away from any electri-
cal cables or equipment and always
use grounded appliances on board
your boat.
!
WARNING
Do not operate the AC electrical sys-
tem from shore power with reverse
polarity. Reverse polarity will damage
the system and expose passengers to
electrocution hazards. This condition
can also cause a fire in the electrical
system.
