DOCKSIDE (SHORE POWER) CORD SYSTEM
The dockside cord is the basic component used to deliver
30 amps of electrical power from the marina dock feed
box to the boat itself.
Before plugging in the dockside power cord to the vessel check to see
that all vessel AC breakers are off. This includes the incoming as
well as both the main and equipment breakers at the AC ship’s
control panel. See the AC panel illustration later in this chapter.
When connecting the
shore power cord be
sure to twist the cord
into the boat inlet plug
rst. The inlet plug is
located on the port
deck. The cord installs
one way only. Align
the 2 pins with the 90
degree shape, (or use
the imprinted arrows
and detentes located
on the inlet plug) insert the cord end straight into the inlet
plug and twist in a clockwise direction to lock in place.
Screw the threaded sealing ring into the shore power inlet
until tight. This protects the inlet and cord pins from
moisture and possible corrosion build-up.
Shore power is optional. A 30 amp shore power inlet plug
is standard equipment with this option.
When not in use close and turn the covers until tight to
prevent moisture from entering the plug.
