Section 4 Electrical System

OS 285

Dress the cable so that it can’t be damaged

by chafing between the boat and the dock.

Make sure the cable doesn’t come in contact

with the water.

Connect the cable in the boat plug inlet and

the dockside outlet, making sure the con-

nection 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 dockside

disconnect switch or circuit breaker to the

“ON” position and check for proper polarity.

If the polarity is reversed, the red polarity

indicator in the AC panel will light. If it does,

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 automatically

turns the main breaker off whenever polarity

is reverses. Notify a qualified electrician to

check the wiring at the dock outlet.

If the red polarity light does not illuminate

when supplied with power to the panel, the

polarity is correct. Move the AC main switch

to the “ON” position.

Disconnecting Procedure for Shore

Power

Turn the main breaker on the AC panel and

the disconnect switch on the dockside outlet

to the “OFF” positions.

Disconnect the cable from the dockside out-

let and replace the outlet caps. Disconnect

the cable from the boat and close the inlet

cap. Store cable.

! DANGER

Swimming near a boat operating on

an AC electrical system can lead to

severe shock and death. Never swim

or allow swimming when the AC sys-

tem is in use.

! WARNING

Do not attempt to correct the wiring

yourself. Electric shock can cause

severe injury or even death. Always

have a qualified electrician check wir-

ing.

! DANGER

Keep children away from any electri-

cal cables or equipment and always

use grounded appliances on board

your boat.

! WARNING

Do not operate the AC electrical sys-

tem from shore power with reverse

polarity. Reverse polarity will damage

the system and expose passengers to

electrocution hazards. This condition

can also cause a fire in the electrical

system.
