GENERAL INFORMATION
Alternating current sometimes called AC is used on board
your vessel. It is brought to the boat through the use of
shore power cords or produced on board through a genera-
tor. Alternating voltage is normally measured at 120 volts.
It is important to familiarize yourself and understand the
various parts of the main AC panel. It is of prime impor-
tance to respect alternating current on a vessel just as you
do your home electricity.

The shore power locker stores the two 30 amp cords. Earlier
production boats feature a telephone cable/TV cord.
Since the popularity of cell phones the telephone cable has
been eliminated.
When connecting the shore power cords be sure to twist
the cord into the inlet plug first. The cord installs one way
only. Align the pins, insert the cord into the inlet plug and
twist in place. Then screw the fitting onto the threads to
lock the cord in the inlet plug.
Plug the power cord into the marina receptacle last. This
reduces the possibility of a shock hazard.
When disconnecting the shore power cord remove from
the marina outlet first. Then remove the cord from the
ship’s power inlet.
Note that some dockside power boxes will not accept the
male twist shore power cord. Some older power boxes use a
3 prong system similar to a house receptacle. You may need
to buy an adapter that changes from twist to 3-way. They
can be purchased at most marina supply houses. Make sure
it is the same capacity as the shore power cord.
Note from the drawing there are shore power breakers
located in the locker. After the dockside power cords are
installed according to the placard instructions and there
is no indication of reversed polarity on the indicators the
main inlet breakers can be activated. Once the main AC
shore power locker breakers are “on” 120 volts is available
at the ships main AC/DC panel.
When disconnecting the shore power system at the locker
first make sure the main AC/DC panel is off. Then turn
the shore power inlet breakers off before disconnecting the
dockside power cords from their sockets. Always close the
inlet covers to protect the system from the environment.
