OPERATING YOUR BOAT

5.1 WHEN ARRIVING AT YOUR BOAT

When you arrive at your boat to take a trip, the first thing you should do is go
below and turn ON the 12V D.C. main battery switches, and necessary breakers
on the D.C. System Panel (on the aft dinette bulkhead). Also turn ON any nec

-

essary A.C. breakers on the A.C. System Panel (also under the companionway
steps). This will allow you to operate any equipment you might need. From the
D.C. System Panel, check the condition of your batteries with the battery monitor

system. If the battery(s) reads below 10.5 volts with a load on it, or below 11.5

volts with no loads, investigate the D.C. system for the cause.

The second thing that you should do is check the bilge areas of your boat, forward,
aft, and in the engine room, for unexpected water or debris. While doing this, it’s
a good time to check and open any seacocks for equipment that may have been
shut off when you last left your boat. While in the engine room, you should check

the engine oil, engine coolant, transmission oil, generator oil, and coolant. Also,

smell for any fuel fumes or other unusual smells and investigate if detected.

While at the helm area, check to see that all equipment is functioning by testing
each one with its switch.

5.1.1 Connecting to Shore Power

How to connect to 240V 50A shore power:

1. On the A.C. System Panel switch the Shore Aft (or optional

Shore FWD) breaker to the OFF position.

2. Extend the shore power cord by opening the cover over the

cord. Flip the cablemaster switch to the OUT position. The cable

-

master switch is near the shore power cord cover. When suf-

ficient cable is extended to reach the shore power station return

the cablemaster switch to the neutral or center position.

Again, when routing electric cables from the boat to the dock, be sure to allow
sufficient slack so that as the boat moves within its slip, the cables and hoses are

not strained in any way. Never allow the shore power cord to dangle in the water.

3. Plug the cord into the dockside power outlet.
