SHORE POWER supports all AC equipment and receptacles on board, as well as the battery chargers.
To connect to shore power, plug the 30-amp POWER CORD into the boat and then into the dock
receptacle. Check the power rating/plug size of the nearest dock receptacle (that is 50 amp, 30 amp, 20
amp, or 15 amp). If necessary, add a CORD ADAPTER located on the bridge under the seat. Turn the
dock power on. Cords coming off the bow can be wrapped loosely around the bow line or bow rail.
At the ELECTRICAL PANEL, flip the SHORE CIRCUIT BREAKERS 1 & 2 ON. Check for reverse
polarity. Then turn on appropriate breakers for battery charger, refrigeration, water heater, and Air
Conditioner/Heater. Watch you amp meter for load. If the load exceeds amperage, you will pop your
breaker. If this occurs, turn off some items (e.g. water heater) and wait to turn on one of your systems
until your use of electricity drops.
If your outlets fail to work, check your GFIs to make sure that they have not been tripped. Be aware that
one GFI breaker may supply plug-ins in several areas.
Generator
The Generator is located in the engine room, center aft. (Pictured here with cover off) To start the
GENERATOR, first check that your generator’s fluids are topped off and the raw water intake is open. At
the ELECTRICAL PANEL, flip the SHORE CIRCUIT BREAKERS 1 & 2 OFF. Turn off individual AC
breakers as necessary. Move both SHORE CIRCUIT BREAKER COVERS to the UP position, exposing
the GENERATOR CIRCUIT BREAKERS. The generator controls are located on the upper left corner of
the DC Panel in the salon. Hold the switch in the DOWN position for 15 seconds to pre-heat. Move the
switch in the UP position to start. (Note* there is a 15 second delay before the starter will engage. This is
normal.)
