Hi 
Could anyone explain to me the three options on the switch?
Generator - I understand....
Starboard - ?? To me this is when i have the cabel connected to the land electricity, I have 110V in the outlets.
Port - ??

Thanks in advance

    This switch appears to be for the meter so I'd say there was an option for a second shore socket based on what side you docked and you can read off the voltage for either input or the gen set.

    I have the same boat. You have shore power connections on both sides of the boat. The Starboard one is on the swim platform and the breaker for it is under the U shaped seat. The Port inlet is halfway down the side of the boat just above the breaker panel, but on the outside of the boat. If you plug into that location, then you would switch the three position switch to Port. The green indicator lamp shows which shore power input has voltage and the meter will read which input the selector switch is on.

    And sometimes Rinker uses the same panel whether you even have the optional generator or the dual shorepower sockets which are not standard on every model or year.  Great feature to have the ability to run shore power cord from either side of the boat!

    This only works the items that use 120VAC not the 12VDC items.

    The boating season in Sweden is in general from 1 may to 1 october.
    The really nice weather is between 1 july to 1 sept but we could never really trust the weather or the forcasts...
    We live in a very nice part och Sweden for boating, the west coast. The archipelago between Gothenburg (almost where we live) and the boarder to Norway (city of Stromstad) is extreamly nice!!
    Welcome to Sweden!
