DOCUMENTATION, REGISTRATION & INSURANCE

Ship's documentation papers, and license are in the AYC Gray Manual. The manual is
located in the lower shelf on the right side of the Nav Station bench.

SHORE POWER

The cord is normally stored in the starboard lazarette (cockpit) locker. The Shore Power
cord is a three-prong "twist lock" plug, with one "L" prong that must be matched with the
receptacle, then "twisted" about one quarter turn. The onboard connection is found on the
transom and is locked in by the same type of twist lock and sealed by the screw-on ring
attached to the plug.
The yacht is equipped with a main 110V breaker switch. It is located at the electric panel
next to the chart table.
The yachts shore power system is a normal 30 amp marine service. Adapter plug units are
under the bench at the chart table.
Important: Be sure that your hands are dry before you touch the 220-volt cable and it's
terminal connector strip!!
Check to see if there is a switch or fuse box at the dock connection. To connect or
disconnect the Shore Power cord, first make sure the "30 Amp Master Circuit Breaker"
switch on the boat electrical panel and the power switch on the Dock plug box are both
turned OFF. Connect the dock end of the cord first, then connect to the boat receptacle, and
then activate the switch on the dock. If the shore power circuit breaker trips (the polarity is
incorrect) then disconnect the cable immediately. Do not activate the yachts main circuit
breaker until this problem is corrected. Contact the Harbor Master or marina staff and report
the problem to them.
To activate shore power, turn the "30 Amp Master Circuit Breaker" on the electrical panel to
"On" (upper left corner).
It is strongly recommended that the shore power cord be disconnected before leaving the
dock. Power cord is only 50'!!

THE BIG "KILL" SWITCH

Tucked under the Nav Table, above the bookshelf containing this "Grey" book and other
reference materials is a red switch. This will kill all 12V power to the entire yacht except the
ESCAPE
Espar Diesel Heater. If you should have an issue on and feel the need to stop all
power to everything, this is the switch! PLEASE use this switch only in case of emergency.
Shutdown the engine before using the "KILL" switch to avoid damaging the alternator.
