Dock water.
Water is available on the docks throughout the year except during cold weather conditions.
Dock power.
-
Standard CSA 15A approved Marine shore power cable is required. Household extension cords are not permitted. Maximum allowed draw is 300W or 2.7A per boat.
-
The Dock’s electrical circuits are limited in size and therefore the maximum electrical power consumption by any yacht is 300 watts. Members whose Yachts consume more than 300 watts will be notified of the infraction and must stop the overuse immediately or the power will be disconnected.
Electrical power is provided to the docks through ground fault breakers. Users must ensure that their equipment has no ground fault and that cable connections are dry and out of the weather to avoid tripping the breakers and interrupting power to other boats.
-
The breaker has been tripped if the light on the post that you are plugged into is off. If this happens to you please contact Ian who will show you the location of the panel to reset it. He’ll also help you determine the possible reasons why and show you how to measure your power draw over a period of time.
