Shore power

[pgiron]

Hi, Need some info on how to use the shore power hookup.
27 GW Sailfish
3 batteries
Has charger/inverter
Bilge pumps have run with all the rain and killed aux battery and I want to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Steps...
1 plug cord in outlet on boat and power outlet
2. charger on or off?
3. battery switches on/off/both?
4. Switch on back side of dash 1,2, or middle (does this turn on outlets in cabin?)?

Help for a newbie please?

Thanks,
Ron

1. put battery switches to off.
2. put shore power and battery charger to off (on the panel).
3. put breaker for s/p to off (usually under the gunnel).
4. put breaker on dock outlet to off.
5. connect to boat outlet.
6. connect to dock outlet.
7. throw dock breaker to on.
8. throw breaker for s/p to on (under gunnel usually).
9. throw s/p switch to on (on panel).
10. turn on battery charger switch (on panel).
