Dockside Operation - Four winns V458 Owner's Manual

The ammeter measures the amount of current, in
ampheres, flowing through the selected circuit. Place
the ammeter's selector switch to the desired circuit to
be monitored (if applicable). When 120 volt equipment
is turned ON the ammeter should indicate a certain
amount of current flow for that particular circuit. This in
turn tells you that your 120VAC equipment is working.
The circuits are labeled as follows: L1 (1st Leg of 120
volt circuit), L2 (2nd Leg of 120 volt circuit) and L1 +
L2 (Full 240 volt circuit). Place the switch (if appli-
cable) to the OFF position when not in use. If the
ammeter selector switch is not installed then the full
240 volt circuit is being measured. Note: Should you
notice the SHORE (Main) circuit breakers constantly
tripping; this is an indication of a problem with one of
the 120 or 240 volt electrical circuits. Have the 120
volt circuits and 240 volt circuit checked by a qualified
marine electrician.
Most receptacle circuits are capable of handling 15
am peres. Refer to Table III for a list of equip ment and
the electri cal currents usually required to operate
these items. For 230 volt, 50 Hertz models, divide all
of the current ratings by 2. Usual ly, the power require-
ment is specified on the electrical item. This is only an
ap proximation of the electric cur rent usage normally
experi enced.

DOCKSIDE OPERATION

If any abnormalities appear during dock side
operation, DISCONNECT the sys tem immedi-
ately to prevent electric shock hazards! Have
the boat's electrical sys tem and the shoreside
recep tacles checked as soon as possible.

A. Shore Power Connections
To prevent electric shock hazards, use only
equ ip ment with ap pro ved three wire elec trical
plug con nec tio ns. Be sure each item be ing
used has been test ed and is free of electrical
shorts and ground faults.
The V458 comes equipped with a Cablemaster shore
power cable storage system. This system allows one
to pay out or retract the dockside power cable auto-
matically. The system comes with a seventy-five foot,
50 amp, three-wire shore power cable. Note: The
amount of usable dockside cable is approximately fifty
feet due to 25 feet being used inside the boat for
connection purposes The cable has a "twistlock-type"
connector. This connector complies with the American
Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standards. See
Figures H18 and H19.
To extend the Cablemaster shore power cable:
1) Flip the power switch to OUT position; grasp the
power cord plug.
2) Walk to dock power source and plug power cord
into receptacle.
3) Cablemaster will automatically shut itself OFF
when cable has fully extended or when the
momentary switch is released.
4) If less cable is more desirable, turn switch to the
IN position.
5) Release switch when desired cable length is
achieved
To retract the Cablemaster shore power cable:
1) Disconnect the power cord plug from the dock
power source.
2) While holding power plug, walk to Cablemaster.
3) Turn the power switch to the IN position.
4) Cablemaster will automatically shut itself OFF
when cable has fully retracted or when the mo-
mentary switch is released. Do not move vessel
until cable is fully retracted!
