CLEANING THE BATTERIES
The top of the batteries should be cleaned regularly to avoid current leakage
between the cells. If the battery is located in a separate area it is normally suffi
-
cient to clean it in the spring and autumn. Make sure that the air holes in the
cell plugs are open so that gas can be vented. The terminals and cable terminals
must be lubricated to prevent deposits and corrosion.
ELECTROLYTE LEVEL IN CELLS
Do not use matches, a cigarette lighter or other form of naked flame when
checking the electrolyte level, because the battery gives off explosive gas. The
electrolyte level in the batteries must be checked at regular intervals. The
electrolyte level must be approx. 10 mm above the plates. If the level is too low,
top up with distilled water.
4.3 230 V SYSTEM
You can choose to equip your boat with the optional extra of 230V AC system
with a shore power connection, which will allow you to use devices that run on
the standard mains current. The system obtains its power from an external
supply on shore or from the jetty (shore power).
The system functions when a shore power cable has been connected to the
shore power socket connection, which is located in the bay in the aft corner
of the boat’s STB side. Turn off the shore power switch before connecting or
disconnecting the cable. Connect the shore power cable to the craft before
connecting it to shore power. Disconnect the shore power cable from shore
power before disconnecting from the craft. Close the hatch of the craft’s shore
power connection.
The system’s main fuse is located next to the shore power connection. The
system includes a battery charger, which starts charging the craft’s batteries
automatically when the craft has been connected to shore power. The location
of the components is presented in the section Electrical System.
• Do not touch an energised high voltage system
• Do not change the plug of the shore power cable. Use compatible
connectors only
• Try to minimize the risk of electric shock, short circuit and fire.
• Do not allow the shore power cable to hang in the water. If it does, a
hazardous electric field could be created in the water.
• Never modify the connections on the shore power cable. Use
compatible connectors only.
• If the earth fault breaker is tripped, disconnect the shore power cable
immediately. In such a case contact a qualified electrician for repairs
before the system is used again.
To avoid an electric shock and risk of fire:
• Switch off the shore power switch before connecting and disconnecting
the cable.
• Connect the shore power cable to the boat before connecting it
ashore.
• Disconnect the shore power cable ashore before disconnecting it from
the boat.
• Close the hatch to the shore power socket on the boat carefully,
avoiding getting it wet.
WARNING!
WARNING!
The shore power system should be checked at least biannually. Always
disconnect the shore power cable when the system is not in use. Metal casings
of installed electrical equipment must always be connected to earth in the boat’s
electrical system. Use electrical equipment equipped with earth protection only.
