View source for 110v charging system (task)

Under the port side bench in the main cabin (forward of the nav station, aft of the freshwater tank) is a unit that appears to be a battery charger for when the boat is hooked to shore power.

Ted disconnected it from the 12v system when he repaired the alternator.

Someone needs to:

# look through the manual to see how it works
# verify how it should be connected to the 12v system
# verify that it is properly connected to the 110v system
# power it up to see that it works
# if it seems to work, re-connect it to the 12v system
# verify that it charges the batteries properly
# document how to use it for future reference.

NOTE: See [[http://sailing.mit.edu/mediawiki/index.php/Main_12-volt_Control_Schematic_Diagram#WALK-THROUGH_OF_THE_DIAGRAM 12-V Schem walk-thru sect 4]] for description of connection to 12-V DC battery circuits for charging.  The discussion there, along with the 12-V primary power schematic, answer to the "look thru the manual" and "verify how it should be connected" action items above.
