DO NOT allow the dockside power cord to come in
contact with the water. Never operate any power
tool or other electrical equipment while you or the
devices are in contact with the water, as this may
cause electrocution resulting in shock or death.
8.1.3 Isolation Transformer (option)
Beyond the shore power connection and the shore
power breaker, your AC power will be routed through the
Isolation Transformer. See the Mechanical Arrangement
Illustration for the location of the ISO Transformer.
The ISO Transformer is a standard "dry" type 3.6 KVA
transformer that basically isolates your boat from the
shore power. It is a valuable safety feature aboard your
boat.
8.1.4 AC Distribution Panel
The distribution panels for both AC and DC power are
located behind the nav station seat.
8.1.5 Battery Charger
The boat's batteries are normally charged whenever the
engines are running. If you are docked for an extended
period of time, operating DC devices and equipment will
drain the power from the batteries. Unless the batteries
are kept charged, they may not have enough power to
start the engines when you need them.
The battery charger (Fig. 8.6) will automatically charge
the engine batteries when the power supply is through
the AC system. The battery charger breaker is at the AC
Distribution Panel.
Leaving the battery charger on whenever AC power is
available is a good idea. It will keep the batteries fully
charged. After the batteries are recharged, it provides
a maintenance or trickle charge as needed. The battery
charger is under the starboard side cabin seat cushion.
Refer to the manufacture's owner's manual for operating
procedures.
8.1.5.1 Basic Battery Charger Operation Procedure
1. Connect shore power cable to power AC Panel and
turn on the AC Main breaker.
2. Turn "Battery Charger" breaker to the "ON" position.

cock.
2. Turn battery selector switch to the #1 position.

"Engine Manual")
8.1.7 Water Heater
Be certain the water heater is full of water and does
ter, damage to the heating elements may result when
The water heater use and function is described in the
Water Systems Section.
The water heater is powered by the AC Distribution
Panel. It is much the same as an electric water heater in
your home except in this case, the heater uses 120 volt
(220 overseas), but it uses elements to heat the water
to a specified temperature. Consult the manufacturer's
documentation for any internal information about the
water heater.
8.1.8 Microwave
The microwave is powered with the 120 volt (220 over-
seas) power through the breaker marked "Microwave."
There is a 120 volt (220 overseas) receptacle behind the
microwave that it is plugged into. This outlet is not part
