AB Switch (Optional)
Used to switch the TV between the antenna and the dockside cable, whenever the optional TV and
TV antenna are installed. It is mounted near the Power Plant below the companionway step.
4.3 110-Volt System
The 110-volt AC system is fed by the shore power outlet or by the optional generator. It is wired
totally separate from the 12-volt DC system and is equipped with an on-board galvanic isolation
system. All 110-volt current is distributed to the 110-volt accessories through individual circuit
breakers located in the 110-volt panel. The main breaker in the panel protects the system from an
overload and the reverse polarity light indicates any problems due to an improper shore power
supply. All AC outlets in the cabin are protected by ground fault interrupts to protect against
electrical shock. A cord set is provided to supply power from the shore power outlet to the boat’s
110-volt AC system.
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 110-VOLT AC GROUND SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND THAT A PROPER
CONNECTION EXISTS BETWEEN THE SHORE POWER CORD, THE SHORE POWER IN-
LET, THE BOAT BONDING SYSTEM AND THE OUTLET GROUND CIRCUITS. IF THERE
IS ANY DOUBT ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUND CIRCUIT, A QUALIFIED MA-
RINE ELECTRICIAN SHOULD BE CONTACTED IMMEDIATELY AND THE 110-VOLT AC
SHOULD BE DISCONNECTED UNTIL THE NECESSARY REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED.
Recommended procedure for making a shore connection
Turn the AC main breaker to the “OFF” position. If the dock side
outlet includes a disconnect switch, turn it to the “OFF” position
also.
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
chafing 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. Tighten the lock rings on both the shore
and the boat connector plugs.
