KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM ANY ELECTRICAL CABLES OR EQUIPMENT AND AL-
WAYS USE GROUNDED APPLIANCES ON BOARD YOUR BOAT.
DISCONNECTING PROCEDURE FOR SHORE POWER CONNECTION
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 outlet and replace the outlet caps.
Disconnect the cable from the boat and close the inlet cap. Store cable.
AC BREAKER PANEL
The AC panel is located in the cabin. The following are descriptions of the
AC panel equipment and the breakers that protect the accessories:
AC Amp Meter
Indicates the total amperage or current being drawn through the AC panel. It is the total current level of all
of the AC equipment in operation at the time.
AC Volt Meter
Indicates the voltage supplied to the panel.
AC Main Breaker
Protects the general distribution network. This breaker is very sensitive. The resulting power surge that occurs
when connecting 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.
Microwave
Supplies AC current directly to the microwave oven. See the microwave manual for more information.
Stove
Supplies electrical current directly to the galley stove. See the stove manual for more information.
Battery Charger
The battery charger supplies electrical current directly to the automatic battery charger. The battery charger
charges and maintains the 12-volt batteries simultaneously when activated. It is automatic and is equipped
with an amp meter to monitor charging. See the battery charger manual for more information.
Battery Charger Operation:
At dockside, when the boat is connected to shore power, the battery charger maintains the charge on the house
and engine batteries. When operating on the optional generator, the on-board battery charger must be "ON"
to maintain charge on the house battery. The generator charging system does not generate enough current to
keep up with the electrical demand on the house battery.
The wires that supply DC charging current to the batteries are protected by an internal fuse in the battery
charger and three circuit breakers, one for each battery bank output wire. The breakers protect the DC charging
