Chapter 11: Electrical Systems

Shore Power

Your yacht is equipped with one (1) 240-volt/50-amp shore power inlet.

The 240-volt/50-amp shore power inlet provides power to the shore power master breaker.

FIRE, EXPLOSION and SHOCK HAZARD!

Use ONLY compatible shore power connectors and NEVER alter the connectors.

Turn Off ALL breakers and switches on the 120/240-volt AC master panel BEFORE plug-
ging in or unplugging the shore power cord.

ONLY use shore power cords approved for marine use. NEVER use ordinary indoor or out-
door extension cords.

DANGER !

!

SHOCK and ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!

Monitor the polarity indicator lights EVERY TIME you connect to shore power.

If a reversed polarity light turns on when you are connecting to shore power, do NOT turn 
on the main breaker switches.

Instead, IMMEDIATELY unplug the shore power cord and alert marina management.

WARNI N G!

!

SHOCK and ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!

BEFORE each use, check the shore power cord(s) for defects or damage.

NEVER use damaged or faulty cords since the danger of fire and electrical shock exists.

Do NOT pinch shore power cords in doors or hatches, or coil the shore power cord too 
tightly, since these situations can generate enough heat to result in a fire.

If a shore power cord is dropped into the water, COMPLETELY dry the blades and contact 
slots BEFORE
 using.

WARNI N G!

!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!

NEVER connect to dockside power outside of North America unless you have purchased the 
international electrical conversion option.

Using several 120-volt AC accessories at the same time can result in an overloaded circuit. 
You may have to turn Off
 one or more accessories to use another accessory.

Use double insulated or three-wire protected electrical appliances whenever possible.
