Turning O and Disconnecng Shore Power
To disconnect shore power:
On the Boat
1. Make sure that the all of the breakers on the AC Distribuon Panel are OFF
On the Dock
1. Turn OFF the dock breaker.
2. Disconnect the dockside end of the power cord.
On the Boat
1. Disconnect the power cord from the shore power receptacle.
2. Clean the power cord, spray the plugs with a moisture repellent and store the cord in a dry
locaon on the boat.
You must keep the shore power cord and plug ends clean and dry. This is especially necessary if your
boat is used in salt water. Always clean and spray your cord ends with moisture repellent before using
and before storing the cord.
Do not allow shore power cable end to hang in water. An
electrical eld can result which can cause injury or death to
nearby swimmers.
To minimize shock and re hazards turn o cra’s shore
power connecon switch before connecng or
disconnecng shore power cable, connect shore power
cable to cra’s inlet before connecng to shore power
source, disconnect shore power cable at shore power rst,
and close shore power inlet cover ghtly.
7. Galvanic Isolator
The AC system is equipped with a galvanic isolator, which blocks low voltage DC on the shore power
ground wire.
The galvanic isolator prevents dockside voltages from damaging metal parts on the boat that come in
contact with the water. The galvanic isolator will also safely conduct high currents to ground in the
event of a short circuit or power leakage on your boat. Refer to the manufacturer’s manual in your
owners manual packet for complete instrucons and warranty on the galvanic isolator.
Under normal condions, the zincs on the boat should last
at least one year, if not more. If abnormal deterioraon of
the zincs occur, a problem exists within the system, and
should be corrected immediately.
8. Baery Charger
When turned ON, the baery charger automacally increases current output when there is a drop in
baery voltage. All baeries, including the bow thruster baery, are connected to the baery
charger. When the baeries are charged, the unit maintains a small current ow to keep the baeries
fully charged and ready for service without overcharging.
