Electrical System
Disconnecting procedure for shore power
connection:
Turn the Shore Main breaker on the AC panel to
the “OFF” position. Turn the disconnect breaker
on the dockside outlet to the “OFF” position.
Disconnect the cable from the dockside outlet and
replace the outlet caps. Disconnect the cable from
the boat and replace the outlet cap. Store cable.
Equipment Leakage Circuit Interrupter
(ELCI)
The ELCI provides whole-boat ground fault pro-
tection (electrical shock protection from stray
current) for the entire AC shore power system.
The ELCI face plate in the system compartment
is equipped with TEST and RESET buttons. There
are also two LED lights that indicate circuit status.
When the 120 volt AC system is activated, the
green “POWER” LED should show steady illumina -
tion and the red “FAULT” LED should remain off.
The ELCI trips and opens the main circuit when
there is a ground fault condition. If the red
“FAULT” LED is continuously illuminated the ELCI
has tripped due to a ground fault condition. Some
faults are self correcting. If it trips, try resetting
the ELCI once. If the green LED shows steady
illumination and the ELCI does not trip again, the
circuit is OK. If the ELCI continues to trip and the
red LED is lit after being reset there is a problem
with the AC electrical system and it is unsafe to
use. Make sure all main breakers are turned off
and notify a qualified marine electrician to check
the wiring and correct the problem.
It is important that the ELCI is working properly
to provide protection against electric shock. It
should be tested at least once each month to
ensure proper operation by pressing the TEST/
RESET buttons in the faceplate. Refer the ELCI
instructions for the testing procedure.

120 volt AC Circuit Breaker Panel
The AC panel is located in the cabin above the
galley sink. The following is a description of the
AC panel equipment and the breakers that protect
the accessories:
AC Meter
The multifunction meter located in the cabin
breaker panel can monitor the voltage, current
load or frequency when the boat is connected
to AC power. Switches next to the meter allow
you to monitor AC current, adjust the brightness
and select the meter to display volts, amps, fre-
quency, watts or to scroll the display. It also can
be programed to sound an alarm for high and low
voltage or high current.
