CAUTION: Never expose battery to open flame or electric spark. Chemical action generates
hydrogen and oxygen which are flammable and explosive. Don't allow battery fluid to
contact skin, eyes, fabrics or painted surfaces ­ fluid is a corrosive sulfuric acid
solution which could cause serious personal injury or property damage. Flush any
contacted area with water immediately and thoroughly. Wear eye protection when working on
or near battery. Remove rings, metal watchbands and other metal jewelry before working on
or around battery. Be careful in using metal tools and equipment. If such metal should
contact the positive battery terminal (or metal in contact with it) and any other metal on
the boat, a short circuit may occur which could cause personal injury. Batteries and
battery acid should always be kept out of reach of children.
20:00 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 12 VOLT DC
20:03 SWITCH PANEL: Circuits may be selected individually after turning on the main
breaker by flipping the appropriate toggle switch for the desired circuit. This enables
you to energize only those systems needed.
Each circuit is protected by a fuse or circuit breaker located in the panel. Any
additional accessory circuits must be installed with appropriate fuses or batteries and
not wired directly to the battery.
21:00 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 110 VOLT AC
The 110 volt AC wiring system has been installed to provide a safe and dependable system.
The running of wires has been carefully planned to keep them unexposed whenever possible
and protected when exposed to chafing or water exposure.
21:02 110 VOLTAGE POWER: A 50 foot, 30 amp, UL Listed cord is supplied with the shore
power option. It provides a watertight connection to the boat. Always secure docking
lines in such a fashion that strain will not be applied to the cord under all conditions
of tide and seas.
21:03 VOLTAGE: Permanent damage to motorized equipment can occur if subjected to
hypercurrents which result from low voltage. Resistive appliances such as light bulbs
will have shorter lives if exposed to prolonged higher than normal voltages.
Voltage fluctuations, especially severe drops during periods of high demand, are not
uncommon. The voltmeter gives you the ability to monitor the voltage on board
continuously.
21:04 POLARITY: Appliances requiring a continuous ground or proper polarity rely on
the correctness of the wiring in every shore power connection you make. Improper wiring
of the shore outlet can result in equipment damage and is potentially dangerous to all
passengers.
The polarity indicator shows when polarity is reversed or the ground is improper in the AC
wiring. A green light indicates that the hot wires on board are carrying the load and
that the ground connection is working correctly.
Note: It is recommended that owners of earlier models without polarity indicators, buy a
small polarity circuit tester to check polarity at the galley receptacle before plugging
in any 110V fixtures or appliances.
Refer to 110 volt AC wiring diagram in the back of the manual for the wiring diagram of
your boat.
22:00 LIGHTENING PROTECTION AND BONDING SYSTEMS
All Sabre yachts are equipped with a heavy duty lightening ground and bonding system
connecting all essential equipment to the keel using #8 gauge stranded copper wire.
22:01 BONDING SYSTEM: The bonding system provides low resistance to electrical
connections of all underwater fittings, fuel fill, fuel tank and engine to the keel. This
