It is not possible within the scope of these instructions to fully acquaint  
the installer with all the knowledge of electrical systems that may be  
necessary to correctly install this product. If the installer is not  
knowledgeable in electrical systems we strongly recommend that an  
electrical professional be retained to make the installation.  
Specifications  
Material:  
Primary Finish:  
0.125" 5052-H32 Aluminum Alloy  
If either the panel front or back is to be exposed to water it must be  
protected with a waterproof shield.  
Chemical Treatment per Mil Spec C-5541C  
Final Panel Finish: Graphite color 2 part textured Polyurethane  
The panels must not be installed in explosive environments such as  
gasoline engine rooms or battery compartments as the circuit breakers  
are not ignition proof.  
Circuit Breakers:  
30A Main with 30mA trip ELCI, and (if equipped),  
15A single pole AC/DC Circuit Breaker  
Amperage Rating:  
Voltage Rating:  
Panel is rated for 30 amps service.  
Panels are rated for 120 volts AC and are so marked  
in order to comply with ABYC standards  
The vessel’s shore power cord must be disconnected form shoreside  
power before installing this electrical panel.

If an inverter is installed on the vessel its power leads must be  
disconnected at the battery before the panel installation. Be aware that  
many inverters have a “sleep mode” in which their voltage potential  
may not be detectable with measuring equipment.

Applicable Standards  
If an AC Generator is installed aboard it must be stopped and rendered  
inoperable before the panel is installed.  
American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) Standards and recommended  
Practices for Small Crafts sections: E-11, AC and DC Electrical Systems  
on Boats.  
Verify that no other AC source is connected to the vessel’s wiring  
before the panel is installed.

Installation  
Connect each branch circuit hot (black) to the appropriate load terminal.  
Connect each branch circuit neutral (white) to one of the screws on the  
neutral bus. Connect each branch safety ground wire (green) to one of  
the screws of the safety ground bus.  
1. Disconnect all AC and DC power  
Disconnect all AC power originating on or off the vessel. This includes  
inverters, generators, shore power attachments and any other device  
capable of supplying AC power to the ship’s circuits.  
Do not confuse the neutral current carrying wires (sometimes called  
ground) with the green normally non-current carrying wires (sometimes  
called grounding). These two wires must be connected only at the  
source of power, nowhere else.  
Disconnect the main positive DC cable from all batteries to eliminate  
the possibility of a short circuit and to disable the inverter while  
installing the distribution panel.  
2. Select mounting location and cut opening  
Wire sizing chart  
Use the wire sizing chart below to determine the minimum  
branch circuit wire sizes.  
This panel is to serve as your main shore power disconnect circuit  
breaker. Select a location which is not more than 10 feet from the  
shore power inlet or the electrical attachment point of a permanently  
installed shore power cord as measured along the conductors of the  
feed wires. If it is more than 10 feet additional fuses or circuit breakers  
must be installed within 10 feet of the shore power inlet.  
ABYC E-11 Table VI-B 105˚ C ( 221˚ F) Wire  
Select a mounting location which is protected from water on the panel  
front and back and is not in an area where flammable vapors from  
propane, gasoline or lead acid batteries accumulate. The circuit  
breakers used in this marine electrical panel are not ignition protected  
and may ignite such vapors.

Using the panel template provided, make a cut out in the mounting  
surface where the distribution panel is to be mounted. Do not yet  
fasten the panel to the mounting surface.

Note: This chart assumes wire with 105° C (221° F) insulation  
rating and no more than 3 conductors are bundled.  
Not suitable for sizing flexible shore power cords.  
3. Install branch circuit wires  
Determine the proper wire size for each branch circuit using the wire  
sizing chart . Verify that the standard 15 amp circuit breakers installed  
in the panel are correct for each branch circuit. Remove and replace  
any that are incorrectly sized. The circuit breaker must have a rating  
less than the allowable amperage of the wire, yet greater than the  
circuit’s continuous current.  
Blue Sea Systems recommends that the feeder wires from the  
power inlet to the panel should be 10 AWG for 30A systems and  
6 AWG for 50A systems.
