SAFE BOATING TIPS
PAGE 18
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (continued)
To minimize shock hazard, connect and
disconnect cable as follows:
1. Turn off the boat
’
s shore power
connection before connecting or
disconnecting shore power cable.
2. Connect shore power cable at the
boat first.
3. If polarity warning indicator is
activated, immediately disconnect
cable and have the fault corrected by
a qualified electrician.
4. Disconnect shore power cable at
shore outlet first.
5. Close inlet cover tightly.
DO NOT ALTER SHORE POWER
CABLE CONNECTORS.
Storage: Your shore power cable set is
intended for use outdoors. To prolong
the life of the set, store indoors when
not in use.
General: The metallic parts of your
cable set are made to resist corrosion.
In a salt-water environment, periodically
wiping the exposed parts with fresh
water, drying and spraying with a
moisture repellent can increase life of
the product.
A soiled cable can be cleaned with a
grease cutting household detergent. A
periodic application of vinyl protector to
both ends will help to maintain cables
original appearance.
In case of salt water immersion, rinse
plug
end and/or connector end
thoroughly in fresh water, shake or blow
out excess water and allow to dry. Spray
with moisture repellent before re-use.
Do not allow your dockside power cord
to come in contact with the water. Never
operate any AC power tool or other
electrical equipment while you or the
device are in contact with the water, as
this may cause electrocution resulting in
shock or death.
When leaving port, disconnect the
dockside power cord and turn the main
DC breaker on. This allows you to use
the ship
’
s lights and other equipment
designed to operate on direct current.
Keep in mind that your DC power
source is a 12-volt battery, just as with
your automobile, and it must be charged
regularly by operating the engine (or by
running the battery charger, if you have
that option installed). Unless a state of
charge is maintained, there may not be
enough power to operate the starter
motor. Dangerous situations can result if
the engine cannot be started when
needed.
Make a regular visual check of batteries
to insure proper water level and inspect
terminals for signs of corrosion. If your
boat sits for long periods without use, it
is often a good idea to remove the
batteries and attach them to a trickle
charger to keep them fully charged and
ready to use.
EXPLOSION/FIRE HAZARD
–
ensure
adequate ventilation of battery to
prevent buildup of gases, especially
hydrogen.
WHEN CHARGING THE BATTERY:

Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric
acid. Protect your eyes, skin and
clothing. In case of contact, flush
thoroughly with water and get prompt
medical attention, especially if your
eyes are affected.

Batteries generate hydrogen gas that
can be highly explosive. Do not smoke
or allow flames or sparks near a battery,
especially during charging.

Charge the battery in a fully ventilated
place.
