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 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 AC CURRENT SHOULD
bE DISCONNECTED UNTIL THE NECESSARY REPAIRS ARE
COMPLETED.
Shore Power Connection Procedure
If the dockside outlet includes a disconnect switch,
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. Then connect the cable
in the plug inlet making sure the connection plug
includes a three-prong plug with a ground wire.
Turn the dockside disconnect switch or circuit
breaker to the “ON” position and check that the
battery charger is operating properly. If the bat-
tery charger is not working, turn off the shore
disconnect switch 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.
UNDETECTED FAULTS IN THE AC bATTERY CHARGING 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
bATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED bY THE SHORE
POWER CONNECTION.

Shore Power Disconnection Procedure
Turn the disconnect switch on the dockside outlet
to the OFF position.
Disconnect the cable from the dockside outlet and
replace the outlet caps. Disconnect the cable from
the boat and replace the inlet cap. Store cable.
The power cord used for the battery charger is not
equipped with lock rings on the shore side or boat
connector plugs. The battery charger has built in
reverse polarity protection and the circuit is not
equipped with a reverse polarity light.
