selection panel.The switch in #1 position monitors the
water tank. The waste tank is also monitored from this
location by switching to #2 position and center position is
“OFF” Fig. 7.3.
7.3 System Components and Operation
The largest part of your controls are on the 12 Volt DC
Panel, we will run down the systems and components as
they are listed on the Panel. From there, we will look at
the helm controls.
7.3.1 DC Main
In order to energize the DC system aboard your boat, you
must turn the breaker marked “DC Main”, on the battery
switch panel, to the “ON” position. This supplies power to
the remaining breakers and systems on the DC Panel.
7.3.1.1 To operate the 12 Volt DC System:
1. Switch the main battery switch under chart table to
ON.
2. Switch the DC main circuit breaker at battery switch
panel to ON.
3. Switch on relevant breakers at the MDP.
Note: Always switch circuit breakers off when you leave your
boat unattended.
7.3.2 Lighting Systems
There are basically four different lighting systems aboard
your boat. These are the interior (Cabin) and exterior
lighting, the safety and navigational lighting, and, if sup-
plied, the courtesy lighting.
The interior and exterior lighting systems are separated
because of the method in which power is supplied to the
two systems. The interior lights are powered from the 12
Volt DC Panel and marked Cabin Lights as well as hav-
ing switches in the cabin. The exterior lighting is powered
from the 12 Volt DC Panel as well and have switches on
the helm for their operation.
The engine room and Lazarette (generator) area lighting
are also powered from the 12 Volt DC Panel.
The next area, safety and navigational lighting, closely
follows Coast Guard regulations regarding safety and
navigational lights. They are as follows:
Nav Lights
Steaming Light
Mast Light
Deck Light
The red and green lights on the bow rail and the white
facing light on the transom are known as “Nav Lights”.
These lights should always be on when motoring.
The “steaming” light is the forward facing light mounted at
the top of mast. This should be on when underway with
sail power only.
The anchor light is a 360 ° light mounted at the top
of the mast and should only be on when anchored.
Lighting circuits and locations are outlined in the end of
this chapter.
