SYSTEM OPERATIONS-24
A LIVE CORD END IS DANGEROUS! Never leave
a Shore Power Cord on the dock with only the
plug end connected. DO NOT connect the Shore
Power Cord to the dockside electrical source
fi rst. You can accidentally drop the cord into the
water; which may result in electrical shock and
serious personal injury.
Connect the Shore Power Cable to power sup-
ply. When connecting the Shore Power Cable
to the dockside outlet, be certain the cable has
suffi cient slack to prevent stretching during tidal
changes.
Slide the SHORE POWER/GENERATOR slide
bar over on top of the generator side of the
switch. With the slide in the lower position, turn
on the Shore Power Switch.
The Shore Power side of the distribution panel should
now be operable.
If there is no power to the electrical distribution panel,
check the following:
Breaker Switch at dockside power supply.
Main Breaker switch on Shore Power side of
distribution panel, and the Main Breaker located
in the Cockpit area.
Follow the procedures below to disconnect Shore
Power from your yacht:
Turn OFF all 115 Volt Circuit Breakers on the
main distribution panel.
Turn OFF the dockside circuit breaker switch.
Disconnect the Shore Power Cord from the
dockside outlet.
Disconnect the Shore Power Cord from the
yacht’s inlet receptacle.
Store your Shore Power Cable in a safe, dry
location.

You should periodically check the Shore Power Cord
for the following:
Cuts, cracks, or severe abrasions on the yellow
cord covering.
Bent, broken, or loose plug blades.
Plug blades or connector slots that show signs
of overheating or arcing, such as brown or
black discoloration, on insulation around blades
or slots. Discoloration and/or erosion of blade
material.
Do not allow cords to be pinched by a closed
door or hatch. Pinch points create resistance
and generate heat that can cause a fi re.
Spray all contacts monthly with an electrical
contact cleaner, corrosion inhibitor, and lubri-
cant, such as LPS-1 made by Holt Lloyd Corp.
Note that “WD-40” or silicone spays are not ap-
propriate because the fi lm they leave increases
contact resistance. The proper spray types can
be found at electrical supply houses or stores
such as Radio Shack.
If a Shore Power Cord should become immersed
with water, it should be immediately sprayed with
fresh water, THOROUGHLY dried, and blades
and contact slots sprayed with a moisture dis-
placement before re-using.
Refer to the individual Electronic Equipment
Manuals included with your Owner’s Packet for
specifi c information on the operation of your
electronic accessories.
