Electrical System
The DC charger is designed to be used only with
12 volt systems equipped with 12 volt / 6-cell
batteries that are ooded/wet cell or maintenance
free batteries. Do not attempt to use gel cell,
absorbed wet mat or other non wet cell batteries.
The engine charging system and DC alternator
charger are not designed to recharge these bat-
teries which could cause unusually short battery
life and/or damage to the DC charging system.
You should also not mix the size or brand of the
wet cell batteries. Always consult your Everglades
dealer before changing the type of batteries in
your boat.
6.9 120 Volt AC Battery
Charging System
General
A 120 volt AC battery charging system is an avail-
able option. The system is fed 120 volt AC cur-
rent by a power cable connected to a shore side
outlet and the shore power inlet. It is wired totally
separate from the 12 volt DC system and charges
the engine and house batteries simultaneously
when connected.
Notice:
The power cord used for the battery charger
system is not equipped with lock rings on
the shore side or boat connector plugs. The
charger has integrated reverse polarity pro-
tection and the circuit is not equipped with
a reverse polarity light.
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 AND THE SHORE POWER INLET 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 SHORE POWER SHOULD BE DISCONNECTED UNTIL
THE NECESSARY REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED.
ELECTRICAL SHOCKS FROM 120 VOLT CIRCUITS CAN
CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. 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.
120 Volt Shore Power Inlet Connection
Procedure For Making A Shore Connection
If the dockside outlet includes a disconnect switch
or circuit breaker, turn it to the OFF position. 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 chang between
the boat and the dock. Make sure the cable does
not come in contact with the water.
Open the cover on the inlet and connect the shore
cable to the inlet cord plug making sure the shore
cord includes a three-prong plug with a ground
wire. Turn the dockside disconnect switch or cir-
cuit breaker ON and check that each battery char-
ger is operating properly. If the battery charger is
not working, turn o the shore disconnect switch/
circuit breaker and remove the cable. Contact
your dealer or a qualied electrician to nd and
correct the problem.
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.
