AC Electric Systems
8.2
A 30 amp resettable shore power circuit breaker switch
panel (Fig. 8.3) is installed to protect the boat’s AC cir-
cuitry from a shore connection power fault. The panel will
have one or two breakers, depending on the existence
of the electric stove and/or air conditioning option. The
panel is located in the aft cabin’s starboard aft bulkhead.
NOTE: It is important that you review the “Electric Shock” pam-
phlet included within your manuals documents and understand
the importance of electrical safety. While electricity provides
tremendous convenience, it has the potential to injure and kill.
Be sure and follow the warnings posted in this manual and in
the manufacturer’s OEM manuals included in you manual pack
and practice good safety measures. Always have trained, com-
petent technicians service your electrical systems.
