The dockside system installed has a main circuit
breaker which protects the overall distribution network.
Depending of the V series models, it may have the
MAIN dockside inlets located either on the port or
starboard deck or in the aft transom systems locker.
Certain V series models have a MAIN dockside inlet
with Cablemaster shore power cable storage system
located at the starboard side of the aft transom. The
switch which extends or retracts the Cablemaster
shore power cable is typically located inside the
transom storage locker. See Figures H25 & H26.

The MAIN circuit breakers on the AC/DC cabin panel.
The MAIN breakers must be turned "ON" and the boat
must be connected either to shore power or generator
running for AC system operation. The MAIN circuit
breakers protects both the hot and neutral input leads.
This breaker is sensitive. The resulting power surge
which occurs when connect ing the shore power cord
Electrical Systems - Section H
may cause the MAIN breakers to trip. To avoid this
power spike, turn off the MAIN break ers before
plugging in the shore power cord. Securely connect
the power inlet of the boat and the shore power
receptacle. Once the shore power is securely con-
nected, turn the MAIN breakers back on. If the
connection is broken and later re-secured, the circuit
breaker may trip. Connections must be secure for
unin terrupt ed dockside service.
Certain V series models have main circuit breakers on
the AC panel labeled SHORE and GENERATOR. See
Figure H27.
Figure H27: AC Cabin Panel - Main Breakers
(Panels May Vary)
The respective main breakers must be turned ON and
the boat must either be connected to shore power or
the generator must be running for AC system opera-
tion. Note: An AC slide lockout is installed on the
MAIN breaker switches to prevent energizing both the
SHORE and GENERATOR systems simultaneously
thus preventing possible damage to the electrical
system.
Never override the AC slide lockout mechan-
ism. Damage to the electrical system and
possible fire and/or death could result.
The AC voltage for the shore power AC or generator
systems may be monitored with the voltmeter in the
AC panel. The SHORE or GENERATOR voltage is
automatically monitored when that particular system is
activated/energized. See Figure H28.
