DANGER

Fuel leaking from any part of the fuel system can

lead to fire and explosion that can cause serious

bodily injury or death. Inspect system before start-

ing engines.

DANGER

Never enter the engine compartment without proper

ventilation first. A spark caused by power tools or

lighting equipment could result in fire or explosion

which could cause personal injury or death.

DANGER

As with any fuel burning engine, Carbon Monoxide

is a concern. Read the Boating Safety section of

this manual, and educate yourself about Carbon

Monoxide poisoning. It could mean the difference in

your life and the life of your loved ones.

For the more details on operating instructions, mainte-
nance instructions of the generator, please refers to the
generator owner’s manual.

8.1.7 Breakers, Switches, and Fuses

All electrical systems aboard your boat are provided with
over-current protection in the form of breakers or fuses.
Examples of breakers are the system or component con-
trols at the Main Distribution Panel, or MDP Systems that
would normally require you to energize them for use and
are provided with switches.

The breaker and switch panels are detailed further in the
end of this section under “Legends.”

8.1.9 Outlets and GFI Components

The outlets aboard your boat are for AC electrical con-
nections to supply power to your AC accessories. They
are just like your outlets in your home and supply 110 volt
(230 volt overseas) AC power.

There are 2 required GFI outlets aboard your boat. One
is in the galley, one at the Nav station. Though there are
several other outlets, they are wired in the circuit of an

existing GFI. The other outlet such as the one that sup-
plies power to your microwave receives power from the
MDP and breaker protected at that point. These are usu-
ally placed behind cabinets or the components that they
supply power to and aren’t visible.
Though the outlets are a system or a component such
as in the next subject, we have placed the descriptions
in the Power Supply subject due to the purpose of their
installation.

As with the DC System, there are several AC powered
systems or components aboard your boat. Here we will
break those down for you with a function and description
of each one. Later in the Operations and Maintenance
section, we will describe the use or operation of these
systems or components.

8.2 Systems and Components.

8.2.1 Inverter (option)

The inverter locates in main cabin starboard bunk.
Typically, there are two modes of operation associated
with an inverter/charger:

Inverter Mode:
Direct current (DC) from the boat’s batteries is trans-
formed into alternating current (AC) for use with you
household electrical appliances.

Charger Mode:
Alternating current (AC) is taken directly from shore
power (or other AC sources) and passed directly to your
household appliances. At the same time, the incoming
AC is also converted to DC to recharge the boat’s bat-
teries.
