ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FUSE BLOCKS
AND BREAKERS
Fuse blocks utilizing automotive type blade fuses
are used to provide overload protection.
The Control Station Fuse Block protects the VHF
radio, radar, autopilot, and other electronic acces-
sories. This fuse block is located behind the port
component panel.
If a fuse or breaker is replaced with one that has
lower amperage, it will be insufficient to carry the
electrical load of the equipment it is connected to
and can trip or blow.
If a fuse or breaker is replaced with one that has
higher amperage, it will not provide adequate pro-
tection against an electrical malfunction and can
create a possible fire hazard.
It is recommended that you carry spare fuses and
breakers at all times.
Some of the various types of breakers used on your
boat are as follows:
• An in-line fuse holder that uses an automotive-
type blade fuse.
• Breakers found on the control station DC break-
er panel located behind the access panel below
the control station switch panel. These breakers
protect the trim tabs, wipers, windshield vent,
navigation lights, hatch lift, spot light, horn,
instrument lights, 12V receptacle, and acces-
sories.
