Section 4 Electrical System

OS 375

Turn the AC main breaker to the “OFF” posi-

tion. If the dockside outlet(s) includes a dis-

connect switch(es), 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 damaged by

chafing between the boat and the dock.

Make sure the cable does not come in con-

tact with the water. Then connect the cable

in the boat plug inlet and the dockside out-

let(s). Tighten the lock rings on both the

shore and the boat connector plugs. Turn

the dockside disconnect switch(es) or circuit

breaker(s) to the “ON” position.

Disconnecting Procedure for Shore

Power

Turn the main breaker on the AC MDP off

and the disconnect switch(es) on the dock-

side outlet(s) to the “OFF” positions.

Disconnect the cable from the dockside out-

let(s) and replace the outlet caps. Discon-

nect the cable from the boat and close the

inlet cap. Remove reverse Y-adapter from

the cable if used.

4.8 Generator

Your Pursuit is equipped with a diesel gener-

ator. The generator is equipped with an

automated start-up sequence to prevent

overcranking which can lead to engine dam-

age and to ensure that the generator is up to

operating temperature before the electrical

load is applied. The display on the genera-

tor panel provides detailed information on

the operating status of the generator. Refer

to the generator owner's manual for com-

plete explanation on the operation and inter-

pretation of the displayed data.

Because of the number of DC systems on

this boat that can be in operation, a signifi-

cant drain on the batteries can occur.

Depending on the RPM and the duration of

operation of the engines, the engines' charg-

ing systems may not be able to keep up with

the DC electrical demand particularly when

the engines are run at low RPM for extended

periods. To ensure that the batteries remain

at peak charge, Pursuit

strongly recom-

mends that the generator be run whenever

the boat is in use and not connected to

shore power. It is important to activate the

house battery charger to maintain the

house, electronics and bow thruster batter-

ies whenever the generator is running.

The generator is located in an enclosure in

the aft bilge. The generator compartment is

equipped with an automatic fire extinguisher

system and an automatic engine shutdown

system. Refer to the Safety Equipment

chapter.

! DANGER

ELECTROCUTION HAZARD

Exposure to high voltage will cause

death or serious injury. DO NOT

attempt to correct wiring yourself. DO

NOT swim in marinas or near boats

connected to shore power. Keep chil-

dren away from any electrical cables

or equipment and use grounded appli-

ances onboard only.
