Need Advice For Adding Shore Power

Baysailor34 · Post by **Baysailor34** » May 30th, '06, 05:58

Getting closer to purchasing a CD270. This particular boat does not have shore power. Has anyone added this feature to their boat? Looking for advice on what's involved and how to proceed.

Thanks,
Joe

My CD 270 came with factory shore power. The owner's manual has a wiring diagram. The shore power outlet is located in the cockpit footwell on the starboard side. The wiring is 12 ga. 3 conducter wire. White is neg., black is positive, other is neutral.
My panel has a polarity light & test switch, master on switch, water heater switch, outlet switch, and room for the addition of an additional switch. Each switch uses a breaker.
