Shore Power - Maxum 4600 SCB Owner's Manual Supplement

Shore Power

Your yacht features two standard-equipped 120v/30
amp shore power receptacles (located inside the
starboard transom stowage tub). The shore power
inlets are labeled line 1 and line 2, which corre-
sponds to the line 1 and line 2 master breakers on
the AC panel. This system is designed so that each
line operates independent of each other.
If your yacht is equipped with an optional air condi-
tioning system, a single 50 amp inlet (240 volt) may
be installed in place of the two standard 30 amp
inlets. Electricity from the single 50 amp inlet is
evenly distributed to both line 1 and line 2 master
breakers (120 volt) on the AC panel. This system is
also designed so that each line operates independent of each other.
• DO NOT alter shore power connectors and use only compatible connectors.
• Before connecting or disconnecting the shore power cord to your yacht, verify all breakers
and switches on the AC master panel are turned OFF.
• To prevent shock or injury from an accidental dropping of the "hot" cord into the water,
ALWAYS attach the shore power cord to the boat inlet first; then to the dockside connection.
When disconnecting from shore power, disconnect the shore power cord from the dockside
connection first.
• NEVER leave a shore power cord connected to the dockside connection only.
• Only use shore power cords approved for marine use. NEVER use ordinary indoor or out-
door extension cords that are not rated for marine use.
FIRE, SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
• NEVER connect dockside power to your boat outside North America unless you have pur-
chased the international electrical conversion option.
• The simultaneous use of several AC components can result in an overloaded circuit. It may
be necessary to turn off one or more accessories in order to use another accessory.
• Use double insulated or three-wire protected electrical appliances whenever possible.
• Periodically check the shore power cord(s) for deterioration or damage. Damaged or faulty
cords should NEVER be used since the danger of fire and electrical shock exists.
• DO NOT pinch shore power cords in doors or hatches, or coil the shore power cord too
tightly since these situations can generate enough heat to result in a fire.
• If a shore power cord should accidently become immersed in water, THOROUGHLY dry
the blades and contact slots before re-using.
Some dockside installations may be rated less than 30 amps, therefore, you may need to pur-
chase lower amp adapters. Whenever a lower amp adapter is used, however, there will be a
corresponding drop in supplied power from the dockside system.
