4.3 240 and 120-Volt System

The 240-volt AC system is fed by the shore power outlet or

by the optional generator. It is wired totally separate from the

12-volt DC system and is equipped with an on-board galvanic

isolation system. 240 and 120-volt current is available and

distributed to the AC accessories through individual circuit

breakers located in the 240-volt panel. The main breaker in

the panel protects the system from an overload and the reverse

polarity light indicates any problems due to an improper shore

power supply. All AC outlets in the cabin are protected by

ground fault interrupts to protect against electrical shock. A

cord set is provided to supply power from the shore power

outlet to the boat’s AC system.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK IN

WET WEATHER, AVOID MAKING CONTACT WITH

THE SHORE CABLE OR MAKING A CONNECTION

TO A LIVE SHORE OUTLET. NEVER SPRAY WATER

ON ELECTRICAL CABLES WHILE WASHING DOWN

DECKS.

TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL

SHOCK, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE AC GROUND

SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND THAT

A PROPER CONNECTION EXISTS BETWEEN THE

SHORE POWER CORD, THE SHORE POWER INLET,

THE BOAT BONDING SYSTEM AND THE OUTLET

GROUND CIRCUITS. IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT

ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUND CIRCUIT,

A QUALIFIED MARINE ELECTRICIAN SHOULD

BE CONTACTED IMMEDIATELY AND THE AC

POWER SHOULD BE DISCONNECTED UNTIL THE

NECESSARY REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED.

Recommended procedure for making a shore connection

Turn the AC main breaker to the “OFF” position. If the dock

side outlet includes a disconnect switch, turn it to the “OFF”

position also.

To avoid strain on the cable make sure it has more slack than

the mooring lines. Dress the cable so that it cannot be dam

aged by chaﬁng between the boat and the dock. Make sure the

cable does not come in contact with the water. Then connect

the cable in the boat plug inlet and the dockside outlet, making

sure the connection plug includes a three-prong plug with a

ground wire. Tighten the lock rings on both the shore and the

boat connector plugs.

Turn the dock side disconnect switch or circuit breaker to the

“ON” position and check for proper polarity. If reverse polar

ity has been achieved, the red fault indicator in the 240-volt

panel will light. If this should happen, make sure the main

breaker on the panel is in the “OFF” position and turn the

dock power switch or breaker off. A special relay attached to

the main breaker should automatically turn the main breaker

off whenever reverse polarity is achieved. Notify a qualiﬁed

electrician to check the wiring at the dock outlet. If the red

fault light does not illuminate and the green light is on when

power is supplied to the panel, the polarity is correct and the

AC main switch can be moved to the “ON” position.

DO NOT OPERATE THE AC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

FROM SHORE POWER WITH REVERSE POLARITY.

REVERSE POLARITY WILL DAMAGE THE SYSTEM

AND EXPOSE PASSENGERS TO ELECTROCUTION

HAZARDS. THIS CONDITION COULD ALSO CAUSE

A FIRE IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE WIRING

YOURSELF. ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN CAUSE

SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. ALWAYS HAVE

A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK WIRING

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM ANY ELECTRICAL

CABLES OR EQUIPMENT AND ALWAYS USE

GROUNDED APPLIANCES ON BOARD YOUR

BOAT.

UNDETECTED FAULTS IN THE AC ELECTRICAL

SYSTEM COULD CAUSE THE WATER AROUND

THE BOAT TO BECOME ENERGIZED. THIS COULD

CAUSE A SEVERE SHOCK OR EVEN DEATH

TO SOMEONE IN THE WATER NEAR THE BOAT.

NEVER SWIM OR ALLOW SWIMMING AROUND

THE BOAT WHEN THE AC SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED

BY THE GENERATOR OR THE SHORE POWER

CONNECTION.

Note: An additional breaker for shore power is located

on the forward engine room bulkhead.

Disconnecting procedure for shore power connection

Turn the main breaker on the AC panel and the disconnect

switch on the dock side outlet to the “OFF” position.

Disconnect the cable from the dock side outlet and replace the

outlet caps. Disconnect the cable from the boat, store or retract

the cable close the inlet cap. Store cable.

AC Accessory Breaker Panel

The AC panel is located in the cabin. The following is a

description of the AC panel equipment and the breakers that

protect the accessories:

AC Amp Meter

Indicates the total amperage or current being drawn through the

AC panel. It is the total current level of all of the AC equipment

in operation at the time. The test switch on the panel below the

meter is used to select to monitor hot line 1 or hot line 2.
