Connecting to Shore Power
The shore power system is designed to be
connected to a single 240V/50A (230V/32A
for CE) shore outlet.
Turn “OFF” the AC main shore power break-
ers on the AC MDP and under the gunnel
in the starboard aft cockpit. If the dockside
outlet(s) includes a disconnect switch(es)
or circuit breaker(s), turn them to the “OFF”
position also.
Main Shore Power Breaker
Unscrew the shore cord cover and pull the
cord out of the boat. To avoid strain on the
cable make sure it has more slack than the
mooring lines. Dress the cable so that it can-
not 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 boat plug inlet and the dock-
side outlet(s). Tighten the lock rings on both
the shore and the boat connector plugs. Turn
the dockside disconnect switch(es) or circuit
breaker(s) to the “ON” position. Turn “ON”
the AC main shore power breakers under the
gunnel in the starboard aft cockpit and on the
AC MDP.
Disconnecting from Shore Power
Turn “OFF” the AC main shore power break-
ers on the AC MDP and under the gunnel
in the starboard aft cockpit. If the dockside
outlet(s) includes a disconnect switch(es)
or circuit breaker(s), turn them to the “OFF”
position also. Disconnect the cable from the
dockside outlet(s) and replace the outlet
caps. Return the shore power cable into the
boat by using the shore cord recoiler system.
4.8 Generator
Your Pursuit is equipped with a diesel gen-
erator. The generator is equipped with an
automated start-up sequence to prevent
overcranking which can lead to engine dam-
age and to ensure that the generator is up
to operating temperature before the electrical
load is applied. The display on the generator
panel provides detailed information on the
operating status of the generator. Refer to
the generator owner’s manual for complete
explanation on the operation and interpreta-
tion of the displayed data.
Because of the number of DC systems on this
boat that can be in operation, a significant
drain on the batteries can occur. Depending
on the RPM and the duration of operation of
the engines, the engines’ charging systems
may not be able to keep up with the DC elec-
trical demand particularly when the engines
are run at low RPM for extended periods.
To ensure that the batteries remain at peak
charge, Pursuit strongly recommends that
the generator be run whenever the boat is in
use and not connected to shore power. It is
important to activate the house battery char-
ger to maintain the house, electronics and
bow thruster batteries whenever the gener-
ator is running.
The generator is located in an enclosure in
the mechanical space in the aft bilge. The
generator compartment (mechanical space)
is equipped with an automatic fire extin-
