AC Electric Systems
Besides  a  12  Volt  DC  negative  ground  system,  your 
Hunter boat has a 120V 60 HZ AC system.
It is not the intent of this manual to educate you on repair 
or extending the electrical system. The scope of this man-
ual is to provide the basic information needed for safety, 
operation and maintenance of these systems.
Electricity cannot be detected without the use of 
specialized test equipment. Never think you know 
whether a circuit is “live”.  Always have qualified, 
competent professionals inspect or make repairs to 
your electrical systems.
8.1  AC Power Systems & Components
The  AC  System  consists  of  the  following  systems  or 
components:
120 Volt AC Panel
Shore Power Line 1
Shore Power Line 2
Generator (Option)
Inverter (Option)
Outlets
Microwave
Battery Charger
Water Heater
Air Conditioner (Option)
The AC system is a three-wire grounded system powered 
by either the generator or shore power hookups located 
aft.  Circuit  breakers  for  AC  Line  1  and  AC  Line  2  are 
located in port side euro locker.
Note: Telephone and cable TV inlet jacks are also next to 
the shore power inlet plugs.
Note:  It is important that you review the “Electric Shock” pam-
phlet included with your manual and understand the importance 
of  electrical  safety.    While  electricity  is  one  of  our  greatest 
friends,  it  can  well  be  your  worst  enemy.    Be  sure  and  follow 
the  warnings  posted  in  this  manual  and  your  component  or 
systems  manuals  in  your  owner’s  packet  and  practice  good 
safety.  Always have trained, competent technicians to service 
your electrical systems, it could mean your life.

circuits. This system prevents accidental electrical shock. 
If power is lost to an outlet, reset the breaker at the GFIC 
outlet.
Never work on an energized circuit!  Always treat 
any circuit as if it were live!  Always have trained, 
competent technicians to service your electrical 
systems!
