Your boat is equipped with a 30 amp AC (alternating
current) electrical system. The power for this system is
supplied by either a shore power source or the optional
onboard generator. All AC power is routed through the
AC Power Panel, which is mounted behind a sliding
mirror on the salon’s starboard bulkhead outboard the
dinette. The lights above the main breakers on your AC
Power Panel indicate which source your AC electrical
system is receiving power from. The procedures for
connecting to shore power and generator power are
explained later in this section.
If your boat does not have the optional air conditioning
system, all AC power is routed through a single dock-
side MAIN breaker service called Line 1. If your boat is
equipped with air conditioning, the air conditioning
system is powered through an additional 30 amp
breaker service called Line 2.
Wiring System
The AC electrical system on your boat uses three color-
coded wires.
The black wire carries the current from the power
source to the equipment or receptacle. Each black wire
is connected to and protected by a circuit breaker that is
installed in the AC Power Panel.
The white wire carries the current from the equipment
or receptacle back to the power source.
Ground wires are either green or bare copper. During
normal operation, current does not flow through the
ground wires.
Buss bars are used within the AC electrical system to
help route and organize the wires. The system's white
or neutral wires are connected together at buss bars.
The ground wires are also connected together at a
separate buss bar.
Do not touch the black or white wires while the AC
electrical system is connected to a power source.
These wires carry enough current to kill or cause
serious injury.
