[C320-list] FW: Shore Power

[Karl Mielenhausen _/)]

I have also been warned to never run the engine with the AC-powered battery charger energized, so I make sure the shorepower cable is physically disconnected before I start the engine.

Other boaters have told me this is unnecessary as diodes will protect the charger from the alternator output, but my logic is why take a chance.

We are on a mooring for our sailing season and have not yet hooked up to  <br>shore power.  As we are planning a short cruise soon, we would like to know  the <br>correct procedure for hooking up to shore power.  Any suggestions would  be <br>appreciated.<br>Michael Madan<br>SouthWind  #773<br>
