Some marinas are not equipped with approved
twistlock-type receptacles. Use only an adaptor
approved by the manufacturer when an adaptor is
necessary. An adaptor may be available through the
dockside cable manufacturer, Marinco. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions regarding its use.
DO NOT use a two-wire adaptor to con nect to
a three-wire system. These adaptors do not
provide adequate groun ding.
Shore power connection procedure is as follows:
1. Be sure the generator is OFF. Place the AC
lockout slider over the GENERATOR main circuit
breakers on the AC panel.
2. Turn OFF the boat's main (SHORE) breaker
switch before connecting or disconnecting the
shore power cable.
3. Connect shore power cable to dockside shore
power outlet following procedure described earlier
regarding extended the shore power cable.
4. Turn the SHORE main breakers at the AC cabin
panel to the ON position.
To disconnect shore power:
1. Turn the main (SHORE) circuit breaker switches to
the OFF position located on the AC panel.
2. Disconnect the shore power cable from the shore
power dockside receptacle. Retract the shore
power cable following the procedure described
earlier.
Always remember to disconnect and retract
the shore power cable first before leaving the
dock. Failure to do so may lead to the damage
of the shore power cable, electrical system
and/or boat.
B. 120 Volt AC Equipment
All 12 volt equipment is isolated from the 240/120VAC
system with the exception of the cockpit and galley
refrigerators which are dual voltage. When AC power
is supplied by either dockside power or by the genera-
Electrical Systems - Section H
tor and with the respective main circuit breakers ON,
the individual circuit breakers on the panel provide
protection for that specific equipment's circuitry. The
recep ta cles can be used for 120 volt (230 volts on 50
Hertz models) household appliances. Refer to the
following list for information on appliances and other
equip ment as well as Figure H4.
Cockpit Refrigerator - The cockpit refrigerator is a dual
voltage appliance. The COCKPIT REFRIGERATOR
breaker located on the 120VAC cabin panel must be
ON to supply 120 volt power to the refrigerator. If this
breaker is off, the refrigera tor will automati cally
operate on the 12 volt sys tem
Cockpit Icemaker - The cockpit icemaker is standard
on the V458 models. ICEMAKER breaker located on
the 240VAC cabin panel must be ON to supply 120
volt power to the icemaker.
Electric Grill - Allows grilling at the transom. The grill
may be operated once the GRILL breaker is placed in
the ON position. A safety feature includes an auto-
matic shutoff switch when the lid of the grill is closed.
Also a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is located
underneath the grill.
Battery Charger - The battery charger is con trolled by
a circuit breaker on the AC electrical panel in the
cabin labeled BATTERY CHAR GER. In order for the
charger to charge the batteries the circuit breaker
must be ON while connected to dockside power. If a
generator is available and operating it too will allow
the batteries to be charged by the battery charger
when the circuit breaker is ON.
Water Heater - The WATER HEATER circuit breaker
supplies power to the water heater. Refer to Section
J-2C - Water Heating Sys tems in this manu al for more
information.
NOTICE
DO NOT supply electrical power to an emp ty
water heater. Activate the FRESH WATER
PUMP circuit breaker on the 12VDC panel to
energize the water pump and prime the sys tem
when not connected to dockside water. Be
sure there is adequate water in the system
before turning on the water heater. Failure to
comply will result in immediate damage to the
heater element.
