4.2.3 Main switches
The different electronic circuits of the boat are controlled by the main switches.
The main switches allow the batteries to be disconnected from all devices that consume electricity. When
the main switches are in the On position, the current is conducted to the distribution board and from there
to different parts of the boat.
The background color of the main switch and the text On shows that the electronic circuit is switched on,
and when the circuit is switched off, the background color is red and the text says Off.
When you leave your boat for any length of time, switch the current off from all the main
switches. Devices that constantly need current are active regardless of the position of the main switches.
The design drawing of the boat’s electrical system is presented in
Appendix II
. The location of the main
switches is presented in the section
Electrical system
.
The main switch is located under after seat. In the main switch panel, there are direct supply switches for
critical equipment and main switches for the start batteries, the service battery and the Aux battery.
Current is fed to the engine by turning the Start switch to the On position. The current feed to other
equipment is achieved by turning the Service switch to the On position, and feed to the bow thruster and
windlasses is achieved by turning the Aux switch to the On position.
