Installation

Note

We strongly recommend that a qualiﬁed elec-

trical contractor install this unit.

Accessing the Unit

Note

Always use stainless steel mounting

hardware.

With the circuit breaker access cover open,

remove the 8-32 stainless steel screw located

just below the circuit breakers. The will allow

for removal of the circuit breaker dead-front

cover.

With the dead-front uninstalled, remove the (2)

8-32 stainless steel screws from the bottom of

the Deckhand, closest to the front of the unit.

The lower (trapezoidal shaped) access plate

can now be pivoted up, or removed completely

as needed.

Securing and Mounting

When mounting the Deckhand to a wood post,

use stainless steel lag-bolts and provided

mounting gaskets to provide a proper water-

tight seal. Deckhand can be mounted using

two _-20 lag-bolts in the upper and lower

center mounting holes. Unused holes will be

covered by seal tabs, keeping water from

entering the unit. Replace seal tabs on

unused holes if they are punctured or removed

during installation.

Deckhand can also be mounted to a 4”x 4”

wood post or metal column using the outer

mounting holes and a 5” stainless steel U-

Bolt, and associated stainless steel washers

and nuts.

Electrical Connection

The Deckhand is rated for 125/250V up to

125A. It is constructed for top or bottom entry

using _” to 1-1/4” PVC, metallic liquid-tight,

or non-metallic liquid-tight conduit. The

conduit access to Deckhand can be drilled/

punched on the lower access plate. (See

Figure 2) Listed rain-tight conduit bushings

MUST be used.

Operation

Connect Power Cord to Boat

Insert the proper end of the shore power cord

into the boat’s power inlet connection, twist

the plug to lock, then tighten the locking plug

retainer by twisting the large nut until the unit

is tight to the boat.

Connect Power Cord to Deckhand

With the breakers OFF, insert the shore power

cord into the receptacle and twist the plug

clockwise until the plug locks into the recep-

tacle.

Turn Breaker ON

With both connections secured, turn on the

appropriate breaker. The power indicator on

the boat should indicate a successful attach-

ment of the plug and the receptacle.

Maintenance

Eaton - Marina Power and Lighting produces

units that are designed to withstand the harsh

marine environment. Very little maintenance is

required to keep the units looking new for

many years and to keep the warranty effective.

Exterior Maintenance

To remove dirt, grime, and bird droppings, use

a mild solution of dishwashing detergent at

approximately one teaspoon per gallon of

warm water.

DO NOT use any solvent or corrosion

inhibiting products on any part of the

Deckhand.

DO NOT pressure wash unit or around unit.

Interior Maintenance

Before attempting the following maintenance

procedures, turn off the power to the unit at

the power supply panel.

Note

The breakers on the Deckhand DO NOT turn

the unit power supply off. The bus bar will

still be energized.

• Exposing the Buss Bar Assembly

Annually, remove the dead-front cover of

the Deckhand, and expose the bus bar.

• Maintenance of Buss Bar Assembly

On all units, the bus bar should be visually

examined for excessive heating. If poten-

tially faulty or loose joints are found, they

should be tightened or replaced. Most

mechanical lugs are made of aluminum

and are very susceptible to galvanic corro-

sion.

If the set screw cannot be tightened,

replace the lug or panel interior as needed.

If there appears to be corrosion around the

copper to aluminum connection, remove

the copper wire and clean the wire. Then

coat the wire with anti-corrosion grease,

and retighten the assembly.

• Receptacles and Breakers

The receptacles and breakers should be

examined annually, and if any sign of

heating is evident, the receptacles or

breakers should be replaced.

• Solvents

DO NOT spray any solvents on the elec-

trical components. Solvents will cause

stress cracking of the polymeric materials

and will void warranty.
