This battery charger is located behind the access door inside the console. The shore power must
be connected for the charger to work. To activate, turn the breaker switch located under the aft
starboard gunwale to the “on” position. The charger has a built-in isolator that senses the charging
needs of all the batteries and distributes charge accordingly. At the point that all batteries are nearly
fully restored, the battery charger will automatically reduce the current being sent to the batteries to
a maintenance level. See the battery charger Operation Manual in your Owner’s Packet for further
information.

stern while the bow thruster drives the bow. Use the joystick control located at the helm to control
the bow thruster by pushing the joystick in the direction you want the bow to move. The emergency
shut-off switch provides a simple method to quickly disconnect power from the bow thruster motor.
Depress this button to disengage the thruster in the event of an emergency.
