Generator, (optional)
Read all the information in the manufacturers owners
manual before operating the generator.
The 305 Conquest can be fitted with an optional diesel
powered generator. It is driven by a self contained en-
gine and provides 120 Volt Alternating Current, (AC).
Connections to the AC electrical system are made through
cables connected to the slide selector switch on the AC
distribution panel. The generator has a built in cooling
pump which draws cooling water through a seacock lo-
cated in the aft machinery compartment. This water
passes through a strainer before entering the engine cool-
ing manifold.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid which is dangerous and
can cause serious injury. AVOID contact with skin, eyes
and clothing. If contact occurs, immediately flush the
affected area with large quantities of water and call for
medical assistance.
