Electrical System
Notice:
Current is supplied to the automatic switches
for the bilge pumps when the batteries are
connected and the battery switches are off.
Notice:
The manual battery switches completely
bypass the remote switches when they are
activated. The circuits cannot be turned off
using the remote battery switches on the
helm panel if the circuits have been activated
by the manual switches.
6.4 DC System Switch Panels
Ignition Switch Panels
Ignition switch panels are unique to each engine
manufacturer and the engine control options
selected. Your dealer will provide you with the
proper starting procedure for your boat at the time
of delivery. Additional information for the ignition
switch system installed in your boat is located in
the engine and control system operating manuals
included in your information packet.

panels that offer the latest in technology and du-
rability. For twin and triple engine installations,
these are “key” panels; which energize the ignition
system of multiple outboards with only one key.
The Start/Stop panel is used in conjunction with
the key panel and features lights which indicate
when engines are running and a start/stop button
for each engine. This system greatly simplifies the
starting and stopping process of your engines. For
convenience and protection, engines can not be
restarted while running.
Starting procedure
Make sure the engines are down with the shift
levers in the neutral position and your hand is on
the control levers. Turn the ignition key to the ON
position to activate the start buttons for the en-
gines. Press and release the Start/Stop button for
the port engine. The computer will automatically
check all engine systems and start the engine.
Once the engine stabilizes, repeat the starting
procedure for the starboard engine and then for
the center engine, if your boat is equipped with
triples. Stop the engines by pressing the start/
stop buttons again.

Ignition Switch and Start Buttons
The engine ignition circuits are protected by fuses
or circuit breakers located on each engine.
12 volt Helm Accessory Switch Panel
The main accessory switch panel is located at the
helm. Most of the circuit breakers that protect
the accessories are located in the panel near each
switch. An LED light built into the switches indi-
cates that the circuit is activated.
If a circuit breaker trips, the reset button pops out
and can be felt through the black silicone protec-
tive cover. Press the button to reset the tripped
breaker. If the breaker trips again, find and cor-
rect the problem before resetting the breaker.
The following is a description of the accesso-
ries controlled by the main accessory switch
panel:
Horn
Activates the boat air horn located on the hardtop.
Nav/Anc
A three-position switch that activates the naviga-
tion and anchor lights. The middle position is OFF.
Moving the switch in one direction will activate
the navigation lights. Moving the switch in the
opposite direction activates the anchor light.
