Shore Power
Follow the procedures below to connect
shore power to your yacht:
• Turn OFF all 115 volt circuit breakers
at the AC Panel. Shut down the generator
if it is in operation.
Using a damaged or improper cord for
shore power connection can cause
electrical shock and serious personal
injury. Use a cord speci
fi cally designed
for shore power connection. DO NOT
use a household extension cord.
• Connect the female end of the shore
power cord to the yacht’s inlet recepticle.
Be certain the lock ring is tightly secured.
If there is a cord already supplied at the
dock, be sure to unhook the cord from the
dockside outlet.
A LIVE CORD END IS DANGEROUS!
Never leave a shore power cord on the
dock with only the plug end connected.
DO NOT connect the shore power cord
to the dockside electrical source
fi rst.
You can accidentally drop the cord into
the water which may result in electrical
shock and serious personal injury.
• Connect the Shore Power Cable to
power supply. When connecting the
shore power cable to the dockside outlet,
be certain the cable has suf
fi cient slack to
prevent stretching during tidal changes.
• Slide the SHORE POWER/GENERA-
TOR slide bar over on top of the generator
side of the switch. With the slide in the left
position, turn ON the shore power switch.
The shore power side of the distribution
panel should now be operable.
If there is no power to the electrical distri-
bution panel, check the following:
• Breaker switch at dockside power sup-
ply.
• Main breaker switch on shore power
side of distribution panel and the main
breaker located in the aft storage area.
Follow the procedures below to discon-
nect shore power from your yacht:
• Turn OFF all 115 volt circuit breakers
on the main distribution panel.
• Turn OFF the dockside circuit breaker
switch.
