110-Volt AC System

FIRE and ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
 The power source lockouts on the 110-volt AC master panel prevent the use of shore power
and generator power at the same time.
 If equipped with a generator, NEVER bypass the power source lockouts. Using both shore
power and generator power at the same time WILL cause major electrical system damage
and could start a fire!
WATER HEATER DAMAGE HAZARD!
 Do NOT turn On the water heater circuit breaker on the 110-volt AC master panel until the
water heater tank is COMPLETELY filled with water.
 The tank is full if water flows from the tap when the hot water is turned On in the galley.
 Even brief water heater operation with a dry tank WILL damage the heating elements.
 Warranty replacements will NOT be made on elements damaged in this manner.
 Whether using shore power or generator power, the use of several 110-volt AC accessories
at the same time can result in an overloaded circuit.
 You may have to turn Off one or more accessories to use another accessory.
 To gain a basic understanding of your boat's 110-volt AC system, read the handbook, A Boater's Guide To AC
Electrical Systems. If this handbook is not in your owner's packet, call 360-435-8957 and the handbook will be
mailed to you.
 The 110-volt AC system can be energized by shore power, or generator power (if equipped), or inverter power (if
equipped).
 Individual breakers on the 110-volt AC master panel must be turned On to supply power to the accessories you
wish to use.
 The 110-volt AC master panel may contain circuit breakers for accessories that are not available for your boat.
