SC 365i
Stove
Supplies electrical current directly to the gal-
ley stove. See the stove manual for more
information.
120 Volt Circuits (Domestic Only)
Microwave
Supplies AC current directly to the micro-
wave oven. See the microwave manual for
more information.
Outlets
Supplies electrical current to the cabin elec-
trical outlets. AC electrical outlets are pro-
vided with ground fault interrupters (GFI) to
protect against electric shock. These outlets
should be tested periodically to ensure
proper operation by pressing the test/reset
buttons in the center of the face plate. GFI
outlets do not protect against short circuits
and overloads. This is done by the outlet
breakers on the AC panel.
GFI outlets do not provide 100% protection
from electric shock. Even though ground
fault interrupters provide protection by
reducing exposure time from line to ground
shock hazards, it is still possible to receive
an electric shock from defective appliances
or power tools and misused electrical equip-
ment.
4.6 Battery Charger Operation
Your boat is equipped with two battery char-
gers. The forty amp charger charges the
house, electronics and bow thruster batter-
ies and is calibrated to provide the proper
charge levels for AGM batteries. The twenty
amp charger maintains the engine batteries
and is calibrated to provide the proper
charge levels for lead acid batteries. Chang-
ing the battery specification will require reca-
libration of the battery chargers. The battery
chargers are located under the mid berth
settee.
At dockside, when the boat is connected to
shore power, the battery chargers maintain
the charge on the house, electronics and
bow thruster batteries. When operating on
the generator, the house battery charger
must be on to maintain charge to the batter-
ies. The generator charging system does
not generate enough current to keep up
with the electrical demand of the house and
electronics batteries.
The wires that supply DC charging current to
the batteries are protected by an internal
fuse in the battery chargers and three circuit
breakers, one for each battery bank output
wire. The breakers protect the DC charging
circuit from the batteries to the charger.
They are located on the MDP. Push to reset
the breakers. The internal fuses in the char-
ger protect the DC charging circuit from the
charger to the batteries.
4.7 Shore Power Connection
Connecting Shore Power
The shore power system is designed to be
connected to a single 240V/50A (230V/32A
for CE) shore outlet. Boats equipped with
240V/50A systems are supplied with a
reverse Y-adapter to make a connection
between the 50 amp shore power cord and
two 120V/30A outlets when a 50 amp outlet
is not available. These 30 amp outlets must
be on separate breakers. No other adapters
are recommended or will supply sufficient
current to operate the boat's systems.
A Cablemaster system is used to manage
the shore power cable. The cable is
deployed manually by pulling the cable out
to the desired length. It is retrieved electri-
cally with the switch located in the lazerette
or the provided key fob remote.
