services like lanterns, lights, 12 volt system etc.
Your boat is equipped with 5 batteries. One for starting the engine and 4 are for
service. They are located under the bed in the aft cabin.
To make sure that you have enough power to start the boat, there is a separate
starting battery, separated from the service batteries. If the service batteries are
empty you will still have power to start the engine(s) from the start battery.

NEVER turn off the main switch during the engine operation.
