BOAT ELECTRICAL

 

 

 

The electrical system is divided into two distribution systems: 12-volt DC – top, 110-volt 
AC bottom.  

 
The systems are controlled from the AC & DC ELECTRICAL PANELS located in the salon near the television.  
The AUXILIARY PANEL and BATTERY SWITCHES are located beneath the first salon stair and in the aft 
stateroom.  

 

12volt DC System

 

When not connected to shore power, batteries are providing all power. Therefore, monitor the use of onboard 
electricity carefully with your volt meter located in the electrical panels and turn off electrical devices that are not 
needed.  We have replaced most of the lighting with LED to conserve battery life for you. 
 
Some breakers are labeled by colored dots. Green signifies “usually on”. Red is “usually off”.  Blue dots are water 
pressure or water-related like pumps that you will likely want on when cruising. Yellow signifies important items 
like blowers that need to be turned on/off as needed. No dots are breakers that signify irregular use or use with 
discretion.  
  
 

110-Volt AC System 

 

 
SHORE POWER supports all AC equipment and receptacles on board, as well as the battery chargers.
