ELECTRICAL AC -110-115 VOLT SYSTEM:
The IIOV AC power system depends upon the boat being connected to llOV-30 amp shore
power connector. The factory option offers a 50' shore power cable which should be plugged into
the llOV inlet on he boat (located on the transom) and into the shore power connector on the
dock.
IMPORTANT: TO MINIMIZE SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARDS:
1. Turn off the boat's shore connection switch before connecting or
disconnecting the shore power cable.
2. Connect the shore power cable at the boat first.
3. If the polarity warning indicator is activated, disconnect the cable
immediately.
4. Disconnect the shore power cable at the shore outlet first.
5. Close the shore power inlet cover tightly.
6. DO NOT ALTER THE SHORE POWER CABLE CONNECTORS IN
ANY WAY. SEVERE INJURY MAY OCCUR.
Care should be taken to support the shore power cable at both ends to allow sufficient slack to
avoid pulling. Remember to allow for the tide.
The master breaker switch is 30 amp, two pole type, located in the port stem locker. There are
five (5) IIOV outlets. Be certain that all 110 volt appliances, other than lamps, have an adequate
grounding connector. Wet feet or moist atmosphere increases the potential shock hazard.
There is a reverse polarity indicator on the panel. With all switches off, attach the power cable to
the inlet. Next, attach the power cable to the dock outlet. If the reverse polarity light comes on,
DISCONNECT THE CORD IMMEDIATELY! This indicates a reverse polarity situation which
is very dangerous.
WARNING:
Do not open the electrical panel for any purpose with the shore power cable
connected to the dock. 110 volt wiring is exposed when the panel is open.
Contact with the 110 volt wiring can cause electrocution. Electricity is
dangerous. Even when safety devices are present, handle with care and use
reasonable caution.
GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER:
G.F.I. receptacles are designed to provide protection against electrical shock hazards due to
line-to-ground faults. Although the G.F.I. receptacle does not limit the magnitude ofthe fault
current, and therefore cannot prevent electrical shock, it does limit the duration of the shock to
a period considered safe for normal healthy persons. G.F.I. receptacles will provide protection
against ground faults only. They will not protect against overload or short circuits. There is no
known device that will guard against the electric shock hazard resulting from contact with both
the "hot" and neutral wires of the electrical circuit.
The llOV AC outlets in the Catalina Yacht are protected by the G.F.I. receptacle. If there is a
power failure which does not affect the fuse or breaker serving these outlets, unplug all cord-
