Shore Power Connection
Figure 5-6
The shore power system requires a special,
marine grade three-conductor cable to make a
proper connection to the shore. Dockside
connections and the boat side connections are
plug-in. Boatside connections are also locked in
position with a threaded locking collar to prevent
accidental disconnection and to enhance water
resistance. Refer to Specifications, in Section 3,
for the location of your shore power receptacles.
! WARNING
Plugs and receptacles for different
systems are designed in non-
interchangeable configurations. A plug
from one system cannot fit into the
receptacle of another system. Do not
modify a shore power cable. Use only
commercially available adapters for
system modification.
