Quicksilver 755PH— Electrical Systems
50
6. AC Electrical System (optional)
The AC electrical system allows you to use the following 230V appliances while docked and connected
to a shore power system:
1. Battery charger
2. Electrical outlet
The shore power inlet receptacle is located on the port side of the pilothouse, while the AC main
panel is located on the port pilaster inside the cabin. There is a 230V electrical outlet located in the
interior of the boat on the forward side of the galley.
A 15m shore power cable with one plug end is also included. Before use, your authorized Quicksilver®
dealer will need to wire the correct plug (for use in your region) on the other end of the shore power
cable.
The 230V / 50Hz wiring consists of three color-coded wires. The brown wire is the “hot” feed, blue
wire is the common, or neutral, and the green wire is ground. The entire system is protected by a
Residual Current Device with Overcurrent Protection (RCBO), located on the AC panel. From there,
individual line circuits add additional protection of each appliance in the system.
Connecting and Turning On Shore Power
To connect to shore power:
On the Boat
1. Make sure that the all of the breakers on the AC Distribution Panel are OFF
2. Dry off the shore power cord receptacle on the boat. Dry the end of the shore power cord, and
spray a moisture repellent into the receptacle and cord plug.
3. Plug the cord end into the boat receptacle. Turn clockwise to lock and thread the locking ring
onto the receptacle to prevent accidental unplugging.
On the Dock
1. Turn OFF the dock breaker.
2. Dry off the shore power cord receptacle on the dock. Dry the end of the shore power cord, and
spray a moisture repellent into the receptacle and cord plug.
3. Plug the power cord into the dockside outlet box.
4. Turn ON the dock breaker.
On the Boat
1. Turn ON the equipment breakers.
Never operate 230V shore power at less than 208V.
It is imperative that the shore power outlet is dry before
plugging into the dock power inlet.
Route the power cord from the boat to the dockside power
outlet box to prevent people from tripping over it.
Shore power cord should be secured or routed to avoid
laying or falling in the water, and to avoid stress on the
shore power plug and inlet.
The use of extension shore power cords is not
recommended. Power cord extensions can cause a voltage
drop and prevent some devices from operating correctly.
