J/124 OWNER MANUAL 43• AC Panel: indicates line voltage being received from the shore circuit with an indicator light. Theline voltage will vary with the number of appliances operating on the same circuit. In large marinasthere may be a large number of boats on the same circuit, causing fluctuations.• AC Normal/AC Reverse Polarity Light: The AC panel has a red light to show when the polarityis reversed. Care should be taken not to operate 110 AC systems on board with reversed polarity.Double-check shore connections. If problems still persist, then notify dock master to repair theshore plug. NOTE- Even though the switches are in the appropriate position, the shore powersystem in no way assures personal safety using electrical apparatus.• Galvanic Isolator: This device indicates and isolates any low voltage stray current on the ACcircuit. There is a small panel mounted near the AC Power Panel in the navigation station withindicator lights and self-test button. Please refer to the specific manual included with the boat formore information.• Optional Hot Water Heater: switch supplies power to the water heater 110 AC element for hotwater while dockside. Note the precautions regarding the use of electrical power to heat water arecontained in the plumbing section of this manual.• Outlets: located throughout the cabin supply power for 110 AC accessories. The entire systemhas “ground fault” protection.• Ground Fault Systems: There is a single ground fault system on the J/124 that protects all ACoutlets.Informational Instructions for Shore Power• Do not modify the craft's electrical systems or relevant drawings. Installation, alterations andmaintenance should be performed by a competent marine electrical technician. Inspect the systemat least biennially.• Disconnect shore-power connections when the system is not in use.• Connect metallic housings or enclosures of installed electrical appliances to the protectiveconductor system in the craft (green or green with a yellow stripe conductor).• Use double insulated or grounded (earthed) electrical appliances.• If the reverse polarity indicator is activated, do not use the electrical system. Correct the polarityfault before activating the electrical system on the craft.• WARNING — Do not allow the shore-power cable end to hang in the water. An electricalfield can be caused which can cause injury or death to nearby swimmers.• WARNING — To minimize shock and fire hazards.- Turn off craft's shore-power connection switch before connecting or disconnecting shorepowercable.- Connect shore-power cable to craft’s inlet before connecting to shore-power source.- Disconnect shore-power cable at shore-power source first.- If reverse polarity indicator is activated, disconnect cable immediately.- Close shore-power inlet cover tightly.Do not alter shore-power cable connectors, use only compatible connectors.Galley Stove LPG SystemLiquid Propane Gas (LPG) is the most common fuel used for boating and is available at most marinas inthe U.S. The standard Force 10 stove/oven is of very high quality and is engineered for the marineenvironment in high-grade stainless steel. It is comparable to a home range.
J/124 OWNER MANUAL 44The biggest difference is safety. While the home gas stove utilizes a petroleum gas which is lighter than air(it disperses easily if there is a leak), the propane stove utilizes a gas which is heavier than air, and thus,sinks to the bottom of enclosed compartments. All J/Boats equipped with LPG stoves utilize a safetysystem prescribed by ABYC and USCG guidelines. This includes an independently vented and sealedcompartment for the tank, an electronic solenoid shut-off valve, a regulator, and approved LPG hose.• Propane Tank: The standard 10 lb capacity LPG tank is located in a specially designedcompartment located in the port cockpit seat locker in the J/124. This box is sealed and ventilatesand drains over the side to specifically eliminate the accumulation of dangerous gases.• LPG Gauge: installed within the propane locker measures the amount of pressure left in the tank.• Solenoid Cap Valve: is located on the hose in the propane compartment. It electronically shutsoffthe flow of gas at the tank. This valve is a “normally closed” valve; therefore electrical powermust be provided through the breaker switch at the panel so that gas can flow to the stove.• Regulator: is located on the hose in the propane compartment. It is a screw down valve thatregulates the flow of propane into the system.Stove Operation• Check that all burner (including oven) knobs are off.• Check manual valve on tank and open.• Ensure battery switch is on and 12 volt power available.• Turn on solenoid valve breaker on the electrical panel.• Open burner valve on stove slightly and light burner. Always apply flame or sparker to burnerbefore opening valve.When Cooking Is Complete• Turn off solenoid valve switch on electrical panel first to shut-off supply of gas at the tank.• After flame of burner goes out, turn off knob for burner (this purges gas from lines).• Firmly close manual valve on tank—DO THIS EVERY TIME!!Informational Instructions• Close fuel supply-line valves and cylinder valves when appliances are not in use. Close valvesbefore refueling and immediately in an emergency.• Be sure that appliance valves are closed before opening the cylinder valve.• Test the LPG system for leakage regularly. Check all connections for leakage by- routine observation of the bubble-leak detector (if fitted with a detector),- observation of the pressure gauge for pressure drop with appliance valves closed and cylindervalve opened, then closed (if fitted with gauge on supply pressure side),- manual leak testing, or- testing with soapy water or detergent solution (with appliance-burner valves closed andcylinder and system valves open).If leakage is present, close the cylinder valve and have the system repaired before further use.System repairs should be made by a competent person.CAUTION — Do not use solutions containing ammonia.WARNING — NEVER USE FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.• Warning — Fuel-burning open-flame appliances consume cabin oxygen and releaseproducts of combustion into the craft. Ventilation is required when appliances are in use.
