Connecting To Shore Power; Parallel Switch (If Equipped With Dual Shore Power) - Bayliner 325 Cruiser Owner's Manual

Chapter 12: Electrical System
• Single shore power 110-volt/60-hertz AC systems feature one 110-volt/30-amp shore power receptacle.
• If your boat has an air conditioning system, a second (dual) 110-volt/30-amp inlet has been installed.
• Dual shore power inlets are labeled LINE 1 and LINE 2, which corresponds to the SHORE POWER 1 and
SHORE POWER 2 master breakers on the 110-volt AC master panel.
• LINE 1 and LINE 2 are independent of each other except when the parallel switch is used.

Connecting to Shore Power

SHOCK and ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
• Monitor the polarity indicator lights EVERY TIME you connect to shore power.
• If a reversed polarity light turns On when you are connecting to shore power, do NOT turn
On the main breaker switches.
• Instead, IMMEDIATELY unplug the shore power cord (ALWAYS from the dockside outlet
first) and alert marina management.
1. Review all hazard information at the begin-
ning of this section, Shore Power.
2. Turn Off the shore power master circuit
breaker(s) and all switches and breakers on
the 110-volt AC master panel.
3. Attach the shore power cord(s) to the boat
inlet(s) first, then to the dockside outlet(s).
4. Turn On the SHORE POWER 1 and SHORE
POWER 2 (if equipped) master breaker(s) on
the 110-volt AC master panel.
5. As needed, turn On the individual component
breakers on the 110-volt AC master panel.

Parallel Switch (If Equipped with Dual Shore Power)

• When using the parallel switch do NOT exceed 30 total amps.
• The amperage of each component breaker is shown on the breaker itself.
• The voltage on each line can be read on the voltmeter on the 110-volt AC master panel.
When only one dockside outlet is available, you can use the parallel switch to provide power to both lines.
1. Connect to shore power as described in the section Connecting to Shore Power earlier in this chapter.
2. Switch the parallel switch On instead of the SHORE POWER 2 master breaker.
3. Turn On the individual component breakers as required.
