Chapter 12: Electrical System

Shore Power

• Do NOT alter the shore power connectors and use only compatible connectors.

• Before plugging in or unplugging the shore power cord to your boat, make sure 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 plug the shore power cord into the boat inlet first; then into the dockside outlet.

When unplugging from shore power, ALWAYS unplug the shore power cord from the dock-

side outlet first.

• NEVER leave the shore power cord only plugged into the dockside outlet.

• Only use shore power cords approved for marine use. NEVER use ordinary indoor or out-

door extension cords.

SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!

• Monitor the polarity indicator lights every time you connect to shore power.

• If a reversed polarity light turns On when you are connecting to shore power, do NOT turn

On the main breaker switches.

• Instead, immediately unplug the shore power cord (always from the dockside outlet first)

and alert marina management.

SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!

• Before each use, check the shore power cord for defects or damage.

• NEVER use a damaged or faulty cord since the danger of fire and electrical shock exists.

• Do NOT pinch the shore power cord 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 is dropped into the water, completely dry the blades and contact slots

before using.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!

• NEVER connect to dockside power outside of North America unless you have the inter-

national electrical conversion option.

• Using several AC components at the same time can result in an overloaded circuit. You may

have to turn Off one or more appliances in order to use another appliance.

• Use double insulated or three-wire protected electrical appliances whenever possible.

DANGER!

FIRE, EXPLOSION & SHOCK HAZARD!
