CONNECTING SHORE POWER
The shore power inlet is located on the aft wall of the starboard seatbox. Before connecting the cord-
set, turn the “AC Main” breaker and all accessory breakers to the “OFF” position. The breakers are
installed on the AC panel located in the cabin. Connect the cordset to the boat first, by plugging it
into the receptacle and tightening the trim ring. Once these steps are completed, attach the cordset to
the outlet supplied by the marina.
DISCONNECTING SHORE POWER
To disconnect the shore power cordset, reverse the procedure above. Turn the “AC Main” breaker
and all accessory breakers to the “OFF” position. Unplug the cordset from the marina supplied out-
let, then unscrew the trim ring and remove the cordset from boat’s inlet.
AC PANEL
The AC distribution panel is installed in the galley cabinet near the entrance to the cabin. This panel
houses the circuit breakers for the AC system and its accessories. The panel also contains a reverse
polarity indicator. Reverse polarity occurs when the AC power lead (black) and the AC grounded
lead (white) are reversed. This can destroy appliances and create the potential for electric shock.
Therefore, after attaching the shore power, turn the “AC MAIN” breaker “ON” first and inspect the
reverse polarity indicator. If the LED indicator remains unlit, you can engage the remaining acces-
sory breakers. If the indicator light turns red, immediately turn “OFF” the “AC MAIN” breaker and
disconnect the shore power. Notify the marina regarding the issue and have a trained electrician
inspect your boat to determine if any damage has been sustained by the electrical system.
REFRIGERATOR
An AC/DC refrigerator is installed in the galley cabinet. The refrigerator is similar to any dorm style
unit, except it can operate from both the AC and DC systems. The unit is hard wired to the AC panel
and will automatically uses AC current if it is available, but can operate off battery power while the
“HOUSE” battery switch is in the “ON” position.
MICROWAVE
The microwave is installed on the top of the galley cabinet near the entrance to the cabin. It operates
exactly like a residential unit, and functions only when you are connected to ship or shore power.
GFCI RECEPTACLES
Two receptacles are standard in the weekend package, one in the cockpit near the helm and the other
in the cabin under the AC panel. The cockpit outlet is a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI),
which is designed to trip the circuit when the resistance along the grounded conductor falls beneath
25000 Ohms. This protects you from electric shock, by stopping the current flow through the recep-
tacle. The cabin outlet is wired in series with the cockpit outlet to provide fault protection in the
cabin as well.
STOVE
The weekend package also includes a butane stove from Glomate™. Instructions for this unit are
also provided in your “Owner’s Portfolio”.
