Reverse Y-Adapter
Turn the AC main breaker to the “OFF” posi-
tion. If the dockside outlet(s) includes a dis-
connect switch(es), turn it to the “OFF”
position also.
To avoid strain on the cable make sure it has
more slack than the mooring lines. Dress
the cable so that it cannot be damaged by
chafing between the boat and the dock.
Make sure the cable does not come in con-
tact with the water. Then connect the cable
to the dockside outlet(s). Tighten the lock
ring the shore and the connector plugs.
Turn the dockside disconnect switch(es) or
circuit breaker(s) to the “ON” position.
Disconnecting Procedure for Shore
Power
Turn the main breaker on the AC MDP off
and the disconnect switch(es) on the dock-
side outlet(s) to the “OFF” positions.
Disconnect the cable from the dockside out-
let(s) and replace the outlet cover to main-
tain a water tight seal to the machinery
space. Remove reverse Y-adapter from the
cable if used.
4.8 Generator
Your Pursuit is equipped with a diesel gener-
ator. 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 genera-
tor panel provides detailed information on
the operating status of the generator. Refer
to the generator owner's manual for com-
plete explanation on the operation and inter-
pretation of the displayed data.
Because of the number of DC systems on
this boat that can be in operation, a signifi-
cant drain on the batteries can occur.
Depending on the RPM and the duration of
operation of the engines, the engines' charg-
ing systems may not be able to keep up with
the DC electrical demand particularly when
the engines are run at low RPM for extended
periods. To ensure that the batteries remain
at peak charge, Pursuit
strongly
recom-
mends 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 charger to maintain the
house, electronics and bow thruster batter-
ies whenever the generator is running.
The generator is located in an enclosure in
the machinery space. The generator com-
partment is equipped with an automatic fire
extinguisher system and an automatic
engine shutdown system. Refer to the
Safety Equipment chapter.

DANGER
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
Exposure to high voltage will cause
death or serious injury. DO NOT
attempt to correct wiring yourself. DO
NOT swim in marinas or near boats
connected to shore power. Keep chil-
dren away from any electrical cables
or equipment and use grounded appli-
ances onboard only.
