DO NOT supply electrical power to an empty
water heater. Activate the FRESH WATER
switch to start the water pump and prime the
system. Be sure there is adequate water in the
system before turning on the water heater.
Failure to comply will result in immediate
damage to the heater element.

Electric Stove - The RANGE circuit breaker must be
activated while the boat connected to dockside power
or use the generator (if applicable) to supply power to
the electric stove. Refer to Section L-1A - Galley
Equipment in this manual for more information.

Table III: Electrical Equipment
Water Heater - The WATER HEATER circuit breaker
supplies power to the water heater. Refer to Section
J-2C - Water Heating Systems in this manual for more
information.
C. Reverse Polarity Indicator
Improper grounds or reversed polarity at shore power
are a source of serious electrical hazard. The reverse
polarity light will indicate if a problem exists at the 120
AC electrical system shore connection.
Panel Lights - The PANEL LIGHTS circuit breaker
supply power to the lighting system.
If a problem exists, the reverse polarity indicator light
will come on when the shore power cable is attached
to the inlet. DO NOT activate the SHORE POWER
switch in the cabin when the reverse polarity light is
on.
Microwave - The MICROWAVE breaker must be
activated while the boat connected to dockside power
or use the generator (if applicable) to supply power to
the microwave.
Air Conditioner (Optional) - The AIR CONDITIONER
circuit breaker must be activated while the boat
connected to dockside power or use the generator (if
applicable) to supply power to the air conditioner.
Refer to Section L-4 - Air Conditioning in this manual
for more information.
ALWAYS check the reverse polarity indicator
light in the AC distribution panel immediately
upon connecting the shore power cord before
turning on the AC SHORE POWER circuit
breaker. If the light is on, a problem with a
reversed electrical connection exists.
Disconnect the shore power cord immediately.
Notify the marina and have the dock’s shore
power connection inspected.
Receptacles - The OUTLETS circuit breaker supply
power to the corresponding receptacles in the AC
system.
Most receptacle circuits are capable of handling 15
amperes. Refer to Table III for a list of equipment and
the electrical currents usually required to operate
these items. For 220 volt, 50 Hertz models, divide all
of the current ratings by 2. Usually, the power require-
ment is specified on the electrical item. This is only an
approximation of the electric current usage normally
experienced.
Under proper operating conditions, the reverse
polarity indicator light will not be on. A green light is
provided for the shore power and will be “ON” when
dockside power is being used.
NOTICE
Some marina shore power systems may be
improperly grounded to retard electrolysis
(see Section H- - Stray Current Corrosion).
Before using any 0 volt equipment, make
sure the reverse polarity light does not activate
when connecting the cord to the inlet.
