This section of the manual includes information about your boat’s electrical system.
Your boat is designed with a safe electrical system to protect you from hazardous
shocks and was checked carefully before it was shipped to your dealer. To protect
yourself from electric shock, always have a qualified technician make any modifica-
tions to the system. If you have questions, see your dealer for more information.

Electric Shock! Equipment Damage!
Disconnect battery cables before per-
forming all inspections, checks, and repairs to avoid possible personal injury and
damage to equipment.
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS:
When hooking up sonar and other electronics, be certain all are proper grounded
and protected from over-current situations. The aluminum hull is not a ground path
as automotive car frames are and improper grounding to the aluminum hull will
cause electolysis and will void your warranty. It is always best to consult with a
dealer regarding the electronics hook up unless you have a clear understanding for
circuit protection and proper grounding procedures.
12-VOLT DC BOAT SySTEM
The 12-Volt D.c. electrical system is a 12-Volt, 2-wire, negative ground type. The
hot wire is positive, feeding the lights and appliances for instance, and the negative
return is by an insulated wire to the negative terminal of the battery.
TROLLING MOTOR SySTEM
The Trolling motor System on your boat is designed to use the stored electrical
power from 1, 2, or 3 deep cycle marine batteries to power your trolling motor. The
number of batteries you have, and the type of trolling motor on your boat, will
determine how this system is configured.
IMPORTANT
: Turning the ignition switch off does not cut off power to all com-
ponents. Powered components, such as the stereo, can draw down the battery if they
are left on for an extended period without running the engine. a power switch,
which can shut off these components, is standard on some models.
