The ammeter measures the amount of current, in
ampheres, flowing through the selected circuit. Place
the ammeter’s selector switch to the desired circuit to
be monitored (if applicable). When 120 volt equipment
is turned ON the ammeter should indicate a certain
amount of current flow for that particular circuit. This in
turn tells you that your 120VAC equipment is working.
The circuits are labeled as follows: L1 (1st Leg of 120
volt circuit), L2 (2nd Leg of 120 volt circuit) and L1 +
L2 (Full 240 volt circuit). Place the switch (if appli-
cable) to the OFF position when not in use. If the
ammeter selector switch is not installed then the full
A. Shore Power Connections
To prevent electric shock hazards, use only
equipment with approved three wire electrical
plug connections. Be sure each item being
used has been tested and is free of electrical
shorts and ground faults.
The V458 comes equipped with a Cablemaster shore
power cable storage system. This system allows one
to pay out or retract the dockside power cable auto-
matically. The system comes with a seventy-five foot,
240
volt circuit is being measured. Note: Should you
notice the SHORE (Main) circuit breakers constantly
tripping; this is an indication of a problem with one of
the 120 or 240 volt electrical circuits. Have the 120
volt circuits and 240 volt circuit checked by a qualified
marine electrician.
50
amp, three-wire shore power cable. Note: The
amount of usable dockside cable is approximately fifty
feet due to 25 feet being used inside the boat for
connection purposes The cable has a “twistlock-type”
connector. This connector complies with the American
Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standards. See
Figures H18 and H19.
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 230 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.
To extend the Cablemaster shore power cable:
1)
2)
3)
Flip the power switch to OUT position; grasp the
power cord plug.
Walk to dock power source and plug power cord
into receptacle.

To retract the Cablemaster shore power cable:
Vacuum Cleaners
1)
Disconnect the power cord plug from the dock
power source.

2) While holding power plug, walk to Cablemaster.
3)
Turn the power switch to the IN position.
If any abnormalities appear during dockside
operation, DISCONNECT the system immedi-
ately to prevent electric shock hazards! Have
the boat’s electrical system and the shoreside
receptacles checked as soon as possible.
4)
Cablemaster will automatically shut itself OFF
when cable has fully retracted or when the mo-
mentary switch is released. Do not move vessel
until cable is fully retracted!
