• To prevent shock or injury from dropping a 'hot' cord into the water; ALWAYS plug the
shore power cord into the boat inlet first; and then into the dockside outlet.
When unplugging from shore power, ALWAYS unplug the shore power cord from the dock-
side outlet first.
• NEVER leave the shore power cord ONLY plugged into the dockside outlet.
