monitor the use of onboard electricity carefully with your amp meter located on the top of the electrical
panel, and turn off electrical devices that are not needed.
See pictures for more details.
Most breakers are labeled by colored dots. Green signifies “usually on”. Red is “usually off”. Blue dots are
water pressure or water-related like pumps. Yellow signifies electronics or items to use cautiously. No dots
are breakers 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.
To connect to shore power, plug the 50 amp or 30 amp Marinco EEL POWER
CORD into the boat (note receptacles are in the cockpit first and then into the
dock receptacle. Check the power rating/plug size of the nearest dock receptacle
(that is 50 amp, 30 amp, 20 amp, or 15 amp). If necessary, add a CORD ADAPTER
located in the forward end of the engine room by the workbench. NOTE, never
plug the shore 50 amp supply into the boat’s 30 amp input. Once all connections
are fast then turn the dock power circuit breaker on. Cords coming off the boat
can be wrapped loosely around the line to keep them out of the water. Salt
water and power cords don’t mix well!
At the ELECTRICAL PANEL, flip the SHORE CIRCUIT AC MAIN BREAKER on. Check
for reverse polarity. Then turn on appropriate breakers for battery charger,
Inverter, refrigeration, and water heater. Watch your amp meter for load. If the
load exceeds amperage, you will pop your breaker. If this occurs, wait to turn on
one of your systems (i.e. water heater) until your use of amperage drops.
If your outlets fail to work, check your GFIs to make sure that they have not been tripped.
