NFORMATION
ANCHOR LIGHT
To install anchor light insert pole into socket and
turn clockwise until it locks into place.
Cap the anchor light socket when the anchor light is
removed.
CRUISE CONTROL -
OPTIONAL
To operate the Cruise Control speed control
system, set desired speed. Once your boat reaches
the set speed, the Cruise Control will hold the
speed constant. For additional operating
information, refer to Cruise Control operator’s
manual in your owner’s packet.
AUTOMATIC CHARGING
RELAY (ACR)
The automatic charging relay (ACR) automatically
combines the batteries when the engine is running.
It also isolates the batteries when discharging to
prevent the starting battery from discharging while
using the house battery when the engine is off. The
ACR has the following features:
• 120 amp continuous rating
• 12/24V DC auto ranging voltage input
• Senses charging on two battery banks
• Side and bottom knockouts for cable
connections
• Clip-on cover insulates terminal connections
• Integrated LED indicates ACR status
• Waterproof – rated IP67 for temporary
immersion
BATTERY SWITCH
The dual battery switch provides isolation and
positive disconnect from the batteries to protect
against tampering, electrical fire hazards and
battery rundown. The switch should be in the ON
position rather than the COMBINE BATTERIES
position. This will keep one battery in reserve
should the other fail. You can operate the boat with
the switch in the COMBINE BATTERIES position,
but this is not recommended for extended periods.
In the OFF position, the boat will be isolated from
the batteries except for the automatic bilge pump.
A
WARNING
Avoid injury or death. DO NOT use the
cruise control feature as a means for
navigation or for “no hands” operation.
COB_0097_A
NOTICE: The purpose of dual
batteries is to keep one as a
spare. In the COMBINE
BATTERIES position, one larger
battery is essentially formed. If a
failure should occur with the
electrical systems or either
battery, both batteries will end up
discharged.
