Chapter 12: Electrical System
Shore Power (If Equipped)
!
DANGER!
FIRE, EXPLOSION & SHOCK HAZARD!
•
•
DO NOT alter 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 to the boat inlet first; then to the dockside outlet. When
unplugging from shore power, unplug the shore power cord from the dockside outlet first.
•
•
NEVER leave a shore power cord plugged in to the dockside outlet only.
Only use shore power cords approved for marine use. NEVER use ordinary indoor or out-
door extension cords that are not rated for marine use.
!
WARNING!
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.
!
WARNING!
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
•
•
•
Before each use, check the shore power cord(s) for defects or damage.
NEVER use damaged or faulty cords since the danger of fire and electrical shock exists.
DO NOT pinch shore power cords 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, THOROUGHLY dry the blades and contact
slots before using.
!
CAUTION
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
•
•
•
NEVER connect to dockside power outside of North America unless you have purchased the
international 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.
NOTICE
Some dockside outlets may be rated less than 30 amps, therefore, you may need to purchase
lower amp adapters.
Whenever a lower amp adapter is used, however, there will be a corresponding drop in sup-
plied power from the dockside system.
