4.2.3 Charging

Before beginning to charge, carefully read the detailed instructions provided in the motor's manual.

The boat has onboard chargers. The charging socket on the boat is of the type CCS 2. Charging can be done in three phases, 400VAC, three phases 230VAC, or single phase 230VAC net with a neutral conductor. Use suitable transitions to be able to connect to the outlet.

You must not set a charging current that exceeds the rating of the fuse in the circuit to which you are connected. For instance, if you are on a circuit with a 32A fuse, the charging current should not surpass 32A, although lower currents like 16A or 10A can also be used. Exceeding the fuse's capacity will cause it to trip, and if the fuse is faulty, it could lead to equipment damage. Always choose an appropriate charging current before plugging in.

During charging the boat needs cooling and receives this through the sea water intake. It is important that the boat receives sufficient cooling, so the sea water intake must not be obstructed at any times.

Always connect the plug in the boat last and disconnect it first. The special kind of plug on the boat prevents you from driving if it is in.

Make sure that the cable has a good route to land so that it is not stretched or pinched between the boat and the shore / pier. Pay particular attention to tides.

To start charging
  1. Move the throttle level to neutral position and check that the green light is steadily lit.

  2. Disable the dead man's switch.

  3. Select Charging threshold and Charging current (A) on the screen.

  4. Connect the charging cable.

  5. Turn off the screen, if you prefer. 

Do not turn off the 12V main switches while charging.
