Boats equipped with two batteries have a battery select switch to indicate which battery will
be used. The switch is labeled “1”, “2”, “1+2” and “off”. In normal use alternate between the
battery “1” and battery “2” positions. The battery that is selected will provide power to the engine
and accessories. In an emergency situation when neither battery will start the engine, the select
switch allows you to combine the power of both batteries by selecting “1+2”. However, once the
engine is started, you should return the switch to the “1” or “2” position. The battery select switch
is located in the aft rigging compartment beneath the removable starboard storage insert. See
“Battery Wiring with Select Switch Option” on page 8–12

To operate the cockpit shower, the freshwater switch located on the helm switch panel must be
in the “on” position. Open the cover and pull the shower wand from the recessed deck fitting.
Depress the button on the back of the wand to spray water. To reinstall the shower wand, gently
feed the hose down through the deck and replace the cover on the fitting. Reference

The onboard engine flushing system is used to clean the cooling water passages of your
engine using a garden hose and tap water. To operate this system, first screw the garden hose
adapter included in your owner’s manual packet onto a garden hose that is connected to an
external freshwater supply. The freshwater system on your boat is not a suitable water supply for
the engine flushing system; it will not supply enough water or pressure to properly flush the
engine. Next, locate the engine flush panel aft in the cockpit and connect the garden hose to the
fitting on the panel. With the engine off, turn on the water supply and let the water flush the
passages. Follow the engine manufactuer’s recommendations for duration and frequency of
flushing. The water supply does not need to be turned off before disconnecting the garden hose
from the fitting. When flushing the engine when your boat is in water, tilt the engine up to achieve
better results.
C A U T I O N
Never turn the battery select switch to the “off” position with the engine running or the charging
system could be damaged.
