GFCI Warning Label
Read and understand the label shown at the left
side of this page and found on the bulkhead across
from the battery management panel.
Most marina moorings these days feature GFCI
weatherproof outlet devices. When using the op-
tional battery charger fi rst plug in the 3 prong ex-
tension cord to the vessel AC power inlet plug.
Then plug the male end in the dock GFCI.
Make sue there is no sign or smell of hydrogen gas
fumes from the battery banks before using an ap-
proved extension cord. Check to make sure cord
does not contact the water and cord length is con-
sidered especially in a tidal zone environment.
Galvanic Isolator Caution Label
Read and understand the following label informa-
tion.
You may moor your boat at a marina that could be
labeled a “hot marina” which may attack your out-
board zinc anodes or those on trim tabs, too.
This phenomena is due to leaking AC and DC
current coursing through the water and around
docked vessels. Normally the corrosion of under-
water metals (props & drives) or rapid consump-
tion of zinc anodes is a result of other vessels not
the marina facilities. You can be docked next to a
person who has not maintained his vessels’ zincs.
Power Inlet Plug
This is the shore connec-
tion point for the battery
charger operation. Read
the section on the following
pages regarding the bat-
tery charger cord for further
information. Always ensure
the power inlet plug cover
is in place when not in use
since it helps prevent cor-
rosion and possible water
intrusion.
