Electrical System

All the models discussed in this manual have a DC electrical system, with some having an AC system.

Both systems are complex entities hence it is critical that you understand how the electrical system affects

the boat and its components.

Electrical Safety

NEVER:

• Work on the electrical system while the system is energized.

• Modify the craft’s electrical system or relevant drawings: installation, alterations,

and maintenance should be performed by a competent marine electrical technician.

• Alter or modify the rated current amperage of over-current protective devices.

• Install or replace electrical appliances or devices with components exceeding the

rated current amperage of the circuit.

• Leave the craft unattended with the electrical system energized, except automatic

bilge pumps, fire protection, and alarm circuits.

• Allow the shore power cable to hang in the water. An electrical field may be caused

which can cause injury or death to nearby swimmers.

Electricity can be very dangerous and hazardous. It is incumbent upon the owner/operator to understand

basic electrical safety before working on any electrical system associated with the vessel. Other safety con-

siderations are:

• Disconnect shore power connections when the system is not in use.

• Use double insulated or grounded electrical appliances.

• Do not alter shore power cable connectors. Use only compatible connections.

The Electrical system is installed and tested in accordance with American Boat & Yacht

Council Standard E-9 and/or ISO 10133. Only persons familiar with the practices estab-

lished in this standard should make repairs or modifications to the system.
