Remote Battery Switches
The individual batteries can be turned on and off
from the helm. The main battery switches in the
generator compartment under the cockpit floor
access lid must be turned to auto to use the helm
battery switches.
Press the switch once and wait 5 seconds for
switches to turn on or off. There is a few second
delay and light will flash while switches are turning
on.
The helm battery switches will flash anytime the
switch is in manual override mode, to alert operator
that switches are not operable from helm.
The emergency port and starboard switches are
used to combine batteries to get more cranking
power for starting. Press once to combine the
respective battery to main battery. The batteries will
stay combined for 10 minutes then automatically
disconnect. Press and hold the switch for 5
seconds to turn off if needed.
The battery switches are located on the battery
board and circuit breaker panel in the generator
compartment. Each engine (port and starboard)
has a dedicated battery switch.

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
NOTICE: The HOUSE, PORT and
STARBOARD battery switches
must be turned ON before
starting the engines. These
switches must remain ON during
normal operation.
