DC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SECTION 2
Safety Breaker Panel
The Safety Breaker Panel, located in the utility room on the outboard aft wall,
manages the power supply to various safety and other equipment. Refer to
Section 9 - Hatches for the exact location of the Safety Breaker Panel.
Because of the importance of the safety equipment, the circuit breakers on this
panel should remain “ON” at all times.
Power is always provided to the three Auto Bilge Pump, Auto Sump, CO
Detector, both Stereo Memory and High Water circuit breakers on this panel.
To provide power to the other circuit breakers, except the Electric Shift breakers,
the Accessory Battery master disconnect switch must be turned to the “ON”
position. To provide power to the Electric Shift circuit breakers, both engine
battery master disconnect switches must be turned to the “ON” position. The
Safety Breaker Panel contains the switches and circuit breakers described below.
Auto Bilge Pump - Forward, Mid, and Aft
These breakers control the flow of electricity to the bilge pumps. Each pump is
activated automatically by a float switch whenever water within the bilge rises to
a predetermined level. Make sure these breakers are “ON” whenever the boat is
in the water.
NOTE: Periodically test each bilge pump by lifting its float. The pump should turn
on when the float is lifted.
Auto Sump
This breaker controls the flow of electricity to the sump pump. The sump pump
is needed to pump shower waste water, sink waste water and air conditioning
condensation overboard or into the optional grey water holding tank. The
sump pump is activated automatically by a float switch whenever water within
the sump rises above a predetermined level. Make sure the Auto Sump circuit
breaker is “ON” before using the shower, sinks or air conditioning.
CO Detector
Carver has installed carbon monoxide (CO) detectors on your boat for your
safety. The CO detectors continuously check the air in the boat’s cabin for the
presence of carbon monoxide. The CO Detector circuit breaker must be “ON”
for the CO detectors to operate.
Make sure the CO detectors are activated when the boat’s engines or
generator are running. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. Refer to Section
1 - Carbon Monoxide (CO) Warnings for information on minimizing,
detecting and controlling carbon monoxide accumulation.
When the CO detectors are operating, they alert you to the presence of carbon
monoxide in the cabin by emitting a loud, high pitched sound. If you hear this
alarm, determine the cause of the CO accumulation and correct it immediately.
There is a test button on each CO detector. Test each unit on a weekly basis.
If you suspect that a CO detector is faulty, have your dealer repair or replace it
immediately. Refer to Section 1 - Carbon Monoxide (CO) Warnings for more
information on CO.
