Circuit Breakers
Circuit breakers and/or fuses protect the wiring. In the event a device stops working, check to see if the
circuit breaker is tripped or if the fuse is blown. Breakers are installed in the following locations:
•
The main breaker is located above the dual battery switches and is accessible via the
battery switch hatch located below the transom sink.
•
Additional breakers and/or fuses for the bilge pumps, trim tabs, fish box and stereo
memory are located next to the main breaker.
•
Additional breaker switches are also located on the switch panel above the individual
switches.
A tripped breaker will protrude or move from its set position indicating that the circuit has been
overloaded. Turn off the device(s) on the circuit, then reset the breaker by pushing in once or by
returning a breaker switch to the on position. If the breaker does not reset or if it resets and then trips
again after the device is turned back on, then a short circuit exists or your device may be damaged,
overloaded, or faulty. Correct the problem and then reset the breaker.

If the breaker continues to trip and you are certain the device, switch and wiring are in good repair; either
the breaker is faulty or it is too small for the load. Reduce the load or replace the breaker.
Shore Power with Cord
Shore power is used for the operation of AC devices
such as your air conditioner, battery charger, and 110-
volt outlets for other appliances. The shore power
package includes a 25-foot long yellow shore power
cord.

Note: Before attempting to connect to shore power, take precautions to minimize contact
arcing by making sure that the AC main breaker switch is in the off position prior to
plugging into shore power. The AC main breaker is located on the AC panel on the
starboard aft cabin wall.
The shore power outlet is located on the starboard aft wing in close proximity to the mid berth cabin
window. To connect your shore power system:
•
Turn the shore power outlet fitting and lift it up.
•
Plug the shore power cord into the outlet on the boat.
•
Connect the shore power cord to the receptacle at your marina or dock.
•
Only then should you switch the AC main breaker to on.
•
If the reverse polarity light (red) is on, unplug shore power (first at the shore outlet, then
at the shore power outlet on the boat) and do not use it, until a qualified technician
corrects this potentially dangerous situation.
Please refer to the owner’s manual provided by the manufacturer of the shore power unit for operational
procedures and for information related to the care and maintenance of their product. When in doubt,
always defer to the shore power manufacturer’s instructions and/or recommendations.
Blower
The blower (standard with the optional gas generator) is located inside the bilge and helps keep fresh air
circulating in the bilge area. You should periodically check to make sure that the blower is working
properly. First, confirm that the blower hoses are connected and the blower itself is secured. Second,
