2. Switch OFF the AC MAIN circuit breaker group(s), located in the PORT transom storage locker. Depending on region

that the yacht is shipped to, the AC MAIN breakers are labeled either:

–

LINE 1/LINE 2

–

SHORE 1/SHORE 2

DANGER

ONLY USE A SHORE POWER CORD THAT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO CUTS, NICKS OR ABRASIONS IN THE

EXTERIOR PLASTIC COVER. THE CORD MUST BE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO CONNECT THE YACHT TO A SHORE

POWER SOURCE. ELECTRICAL SHOCK RESULTING IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY CAN OCCUR BY USING A DAMAGED

SHORE POWER CORD OR A CORD THAT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR THE INTENDED PURPOSE.

NEVER ALLOW SHORE POWER CABLE END TO HANG IN THE WATER. AN ELECTRICAL FIELD CAN RESULT, WHICH CAN

CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH TO NEARBY SWIMMERS.

3. Locate the 50 ft (15 m) shore power cord. Connect the female end of the cord to the boat's shore power receptacle.

The receptacles are located on the PORT transom. See the illustrations in AC Electrical System on page 41.

4. Secure the nonmetallic threaded locking ring to the boat's shore power receptacle. Securing prevents the cord from

being accidentally disconnected and prevents arcing due to a gap between the cord plug and the receptacle.

5. Turn OFF the breaker on the shore power source outlet.

6. Secure the nonmetallic threaded locking ring to the shore power source outlet. Securing the locking ring prevents

the cord from being accidentally disconnected and from arcing due to a gap between the cord plug and the outlet.

7. Turn ON the breaker on the shore power source outlet.

NOTE: A single 240 volt, 50 amp, 60 Hz equipped vessel contains a safety "Surge Guard" protector. There will be

a 2.5 minute delay in power supplied to the vessel after the shore cord has been connected to active shore

service and the vessel.

8. Switch ON the LINE 1 and LINE 2/SHORE 1 and SHORE 2 AC main circuit breaker groups located in the PORT

transom storage locker. See the illustrations in AC Electrical System on page 41. The breakers are labeled either

LINE or SHORE depending on the region the yacht is shipped to.

9. Make sure the GREEN indicator lights are lit on the AC control center, located in the galley forward cabinet, PORT

side. The green indicator lights indicate that power is available.
