The dockside power feature provides AC current to the battery charger located in the console
rigging area. This is a dedicated system, supplying power only to the battery charger. It does not
supply current to any other panels or devices on your boat The dockside power is used by
connecting the heavy duty cable supplied with the boat to an appropriate external power source.
This cable provides power to the boat’s AC inlet which is routed directly to the battery charger.
See
“Dockside Power / Battery Charger” on page 8–19
for more information on component
location and wiring specifics.
Connecting The Dockside Power
1. Verify that the external power source is a 3 wire grounded system with amperage and
voltage ratings compatible with the boat’s AC system ratings.
2. Be sure there is sufficient cable length to allow for normal movement between the boat and
the dock.
3. Turn the circuit breaker under the starboard deckwing to off. Turn the circuit breaker at the
dock outlet to off.
4. Connect the dockside power cable at the boat inlet first.
5. Connect the dockside power cable at the dock outlet and turn the dock outlet circuit breaker
to on.
6. Turn the circuit breaker under the starboard deckwing to the on position.
Disconnecting The Dockside Power
1. Switch the circuit breaker under the starboard deckwing off.
2. Switch the circuit breaker off at the dock outlet.
3. Disconnect the dockside power cable at the dock outlet first.
4. Disconnect the dockside power cable at the boat inlet.
Battery Charger (Dockside Power Option)
The dockside power must be connected for the charger to work. The charger is located in the
rigging compartment inside the console. It can be accessed through the lower rigging door on
the aft head wall. To activate the charger, turn the breaker switch located under the aft
starboard gunwale to the on position. The charger has a built-in isolator which senses the
charging needs of all the batteries and distributes charge accordingly. At the point that all
batteries are nearly fully charged the charger will automatically reduce the current being sent
to the batteries to a maintenance level. See the Operation Manual for further information.
C A U T I O N
Always disconnect the dockside power cable if leaving the boat unattended for an extended period
of time.
N O T I C E
Keep inlet cover closed tightly when not in use.
