Panel
Key switches are used to START/STOP the engines. This type of
switch works on the same principle as an automobile. Refer to the
engine owner’s manual in the Skipper’s Kit for complete details.
BLOWER
- This switch activates the engine compartment ventilation
blowers to help remove explosive fumes from the area. The blowers
must be operated for a minimum of 4 minutes each time before
starting the engines or generator. In addition, the blowers should be
operated continuously when at idle or running at slow speeds.
BATTERY PARALLEL
- This is a momentary function that controls
the battery parallel solenoid. When this button is pressed, the battery
parallel solenoid is energized, connecting the two cranking batteries
in parallel. When it is released, the solenoid is de-energized. This
function should be used only when one of the cranking batteries is not
charged sufficiently to start the corresponding engine.
NOTE
Push the trim tab rocker switches in half-second bursts.
Holding the rockers down too long will over-trim the yacht.
