Plug the power cord into the marina dock power box last.
This reduces the possibility of a shock hazard. There may
be several types of inlet plugs located at the marina dock
power center. The 30 amp plug is much smaller looking
and the 50 amp cord will not physically fi t it.
Also, marina dock power centers normally have breakers
that must be activated after installing the dockside cord.
Make sure the dockside cord has enough slack to weather
changing tides if applicable and at the same time does not
come in contact with the water. Check with the marina
dockmaster for more information on their shore power
operation and requirements.
Before attempting to disconnect the shore power cord
turn off all equipment and main AC breakers on the ship's
control panel to prevent any component damage.
When disconnecting the shore power cord fi rst turn
the breaker to the "off " position at the marina dock
power center. Then remove the dockside cord from the
marina outlet. Always remove the cord from the yacht's
power inlet last. Roll the cord neatly and store it in a dry
environment.

ANY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.
Typical domestic dockside cords (sometimes called the
shore power cord) usually contains four conductors;
White-neutral ungrounded conductor
Green-grounding conductor
Red-ungrounded conductor containing 120 volts
Black-ungrounded conductor containing 120 volts
Note: Select yachts with an earlier isolation transformer
minus the cord reel option create a neutral connection
at the output of the transformer to isolate the shore-
side earth grounded power from the boat's AC system.
This system uses the 50 amp dockside cord but the
neutral leg stops at the yacht's shore power inlet.
DOCKSIDE CORD SYSTEM- CORD REEL OPTION
wired into the cord reel. Therefore, there is nothing to be
plugged into the yacht.
The marina end must be plugged into the marina dock
power center using the same procedure as the standard
dockside cord.
Note: Some yacht systems offer an additional remote
control for power cord usage. Refer to the vendor owner's
manual for information on remote control operation.

Chapter 4
Select yachts feature a DC powered
cord reel system for reeling in the
dockside cord. The dockside cord
is rated at 50 amps and is attached
to a reel which releases the needed
cord length when pulled out. The
power cord is accessible from just
above the aft platform. The reel is
located in the aft bilge. The power
cord retrieval is accomplished by
pushing a switch which powers the
12 volt DC motor.
The yacht end of the cord is directly
