A.   Shore Power Connections
NOTICE
Always disconnect the shore power cord from
the dockside first before disconnecting from the
boat.
To prevent  electric shock  hazards, use  only
equipment with approved three  wire electrical
plugconnections.  Besureeachitembeingused
has been tested and is free of electrical shorts
and ground faults.
B.   120 Volt AC Equipment
All 12 volt equipment  is isolated from the 120  volt AC
system (except the refrigerator  which is dual voltage).
Appropriately labeled  circuit breakers  protect all  AC
systems on  the  boat. The  receptacles can  be used
for 120 volt (220 volts on 50 Hertz models) household
appliances.  Refer to  the following list for information
on appliances and other equipment.
Fifty foot,  ten gauge,  three wire,  shore power  cords
are provided  with dockside wiring.   The  shore power
cords on 60 Hertz systems have 30 amp twistlock-type
connectors.  They have a power ”ON” indicator light to
ease in connecting and troubleshooting. This connec-
tor complies with theAmerican Boat and Yacht Council
(ABYC) standards.
Battery Charger - The battery charger is controlled by
a circuit breaker on the AC electrical panel in the cabin
labeled BATTERY CHARGER or CHARGER/REFRIG-
ERATOR depending on the Vista™ model. In order for
the charger to charge the battery(s) the circuit breaker
must be “ON” while connected to dockside power. If a
generator is available and operating it too will allow the
batteries to be charged by the battery charger.
Some marinas are not equipped  with approved twist-
lock-type receptacles.   An  adaptor is  available from
Four Winns which converts the twistlock shore plug to
a three wire grounded household type plug.  Use only
an approved adaptor when an adaptor is necessary.
Refrigerator  - The  REFRIGERATOR  or CHARGER
REFRIGERATOR circuit breaker must be on to operate
on 120 voltage. If this breaker is off, the refrigerator will
automatically operate on the 12 volt system. This can
deplete the battery. Excessive drain on the battery may
cause irreparable  battery  damage.   The refrigerator
will automatically operate on 120 volts when provided.
Refer to Section L-1C - Galley Equipment in this manual
for more information.
DO NOT use a two-wire adaptor to connect to
a three-wire  system.  These  adapters do not
provide adequate grounding.
Shore power connection procedure is as follows:
1.
2.
Turn off the boat’s main breaker switch before con-
necting or disconnecting the shore power cable.
Connect shore power  cable at the boat  first, then
connect it to dockside shore power outlet.
