Electrical System 6.10 120 Volt AC Electrical System Overview The AC electrical system is supplied 120 volt, 60 cycle current by 30 amp shore power inlets at dockside or by the generator. It is wired to- tally separate from the 12 volt DC system and is equipped with an onboard isolation system.
Page 83
Electrical System Recommended procedure for making a shore connection: Turn the AC shore inlet Main breakers and the SHORE/OFF/GENERATOR selector switch in the cabin AC panel to the OFF position. If the dockside outlets include a disconnect circuit breaker, turn them off as well.
Page 84
Electrical System Make sure the inlet connection main breakers and the SHORE/OFF/GENERATOR selector switch on the cabin panel are in the “OFF” position and turn the dock power breakers off. Disconnect the shore power supply cords from the boat and notify a qualified marine electrician to check the wiring and correct the problem.

Page 96
Fresh Water System Cockpit and Head Compartment Shower Operation There is a shower spray head located in the head compartment and in a receiver on the port side of the mezzanine. The shower in the head compartment has hot and cold water. The retractable shower head in the cockpit mezzanine is cold water only with an ON/OFF valve.
Fresh Water System Fresh Water Washdown Quick-release fresh water washdown hose connectors are located on the side of the cockpit and in the anchor winch compartment. Each connector has an automatic valve that is always closed until the washdown hose is connected. The hose requires a special fitting that snaps into the connector and activates the automatic valve.
Page 98
Fresh Water System • Remove the filter screens from faucet spouts and eliminate any accumulation of debris. A build up of debris can cause the pump to cycle excessively. • Periodically remove the lid on the cabin drain and shower sump and clean the water strainer for the sump pump and the sump.
Chapter 8: RAW WATER SYSTEM 8.1 General A raw water manifold located in the aft systems compartment bilge supplies seawater to the raw water pumps. The intake for the manifold is equipped with a ball valve that turns the raw wa- ter main supply to the manifold on or off.
Raw Water System Washdown Hose Connectors There are two raw water washdown hose connec- tions. One is located on the side of the cockpit below the gunnel and the other is in the windlass compartment at the bow. Each connector has an automatic valve that is always closed until the washdown hose is connected.
Raw Water System Notice: Do not use the livewells as a dry storage area when they are not in use. Seawater could accidently be delivered to the well from the thru-hull fitting and damage equipment stored there. CAUTION A RUPTURED RAW WATER INTAKE OR PRESSURE LINE COULD CAUSE THE BOAT TO TAKE ON WATER.
Raw Water System 8.6 SeaKeeper Cooling Pump The SeaKeeper boat stabilizer is self-contained and seawater cooled. A 12 volt DC pump supplies seawater that cools specific components in the gyroscope system. The pump is located in the aft systems compartment. It is protected and supplied current by a circuit breaker in the battery switch panel.
Raw Water System 8.8 Raw Water System Maintenance The following items should be done routinely to help maintain your raw water system: Routine Maintenance • Check hoses, particularly the seawater supply lines, for signs of deterioration.

Chapter 9: DRAINAGE SYSTEMS 9.1 General Most water is drained by gravity to overboard thru- hull fittings located in the hull above the water line. It is important to check the drain system frequently to ensure it is free flowing and that the hoses on the thru-hull fittings are secure and not leaking.
Drainage Systems Forward Cockpit Fishbox The forward storage compartment below the cock- pit sole is drained overboard by diaphragm pump in the forward bilge below the berth in the cabin. The pump out system is activated by the Fish Box switch in the helm switch panel.
Drainage Systems 9.4 Bilge Drainage The bilge pumps are activated both manually by switches in the helm switch panel and automati- cally by switches near each pump in the bilge. The automatic switches remain activated when the battery switches are off and the house batteries are connected.
Drainage Systems 9.5 Cabin Drainage Shower and Cabin Drain Sump Pump The sump system is located in the forward bilge below a hatch in the cabin sole. It is equipped with a strainer, centrifugal pump and automatic switch. The system is activated whenever the house bat- teries are connected.
