Figure H28: AC Volt Meter
(Panels May Vary)
Also on the AC main distribution panel is an ammeter
and on certain models an ammeter selector switch.
See Figure H29.
Figure H29: Ammeter & Selector Switch
(Panels May Vary)
The ammeter measures the amount of current, in
ampheres, flowing through the selected circuit. Place
the selector switch to the desired meter to be moni-
tored (if applicable). When 120 volt equipment is
turned ON and the ammeter is selected. It should
indicate a certain amount of current flow for the circuit.
This in turn tells you that your 120VAC equipment is
working. Note: Should you notice the SHORE (Main)
circuit breakers constantly tripping; this is an indication
of a problem with one of the 120 or 240 volt electrical
circuits. Have the 120 volt circuit and 240 volt circuit (if
applicable) checked by a qualified marine electrician.
Most receptacle circuits are capable of handling 15
am peres. Refer to Table I for a list of equip ment and
the electri cal currents usually required to operate
these items. For 230 volt, 50 Hertz models, divide all
of the current ratings by 2. Usual ly, the power require-

H - 10 DOCKSIDE OPERATION
If any abnormalities appear during dock side
operation, DISCONNECT the sys tem immedi-
ately to prevent electric shock hazards! Have
the boat's electrical sys tem and the shoreside
recep tacles checked as soon as possible.
A. Shore Power Connections
To prevent electric shock hazards, use only
equ ip ment with ap pro ved three wire elec trical
plug con nec tio ns. Be sure each item be ing
used has been test ed and is free of electrical
shorts and ground faults.
Shore power inlets (if equipped) are installed either on
port or starboard deck or ship's systems locker
depending on the model. Certain V series comes
equipped with a Cablemaster shore power cable
storage system. This system allows one to pay out or
retract the dockside power cable automatically. The
system comes with a seventy-five foot, 50 amp,
three-wire shore power cable. Note: The amount of
usable dockside cable is approximately fifty feet due
to 25 feet being used inside the boat for connection
purposes The dockside cable(s) have a "twist lock-
type" connector. This type connector complies with the
