Purpose
Because of the electrical power demands of the various
features of your Aviara boat, Aviara has implemented a multi-
battery electrical system. When properly operated, the system
will allow the engines to be started with immediacy and support
the various entertainment options on board your boat.
Location
Battery switches are located in the storage bin beneath port
side aft-facing seating on the engine hatch. The batteries are
located on the port side of the engine compartment.
Operation
The House Battery switch controls the entertainment options
on-board. The Engine Battery switch controls the engine start
up, and the House Main is dedicated to the house system, but
can be charged by the generator where equipped. The number
of batteries in each Aviara is determined by the entertainment
options selected on each boat. All models include one battery
for each engine, one battery for the generator (where equipped)
and two batteries for the house, with up to two additional
batteries when a Seakeeper is equipped. These batteries do
not support any after-market entertainment add-ons. Consult a
certified Aviara dealer for additional battery support if needed.
For normal operation, the battery switches should be placed in
the ON position. When the switches are turned on, this allows
the engine and all accessories to receive power. A running
engine will recharge both batteries with the switch ON. For
transportation of the boat by trailer and during storage, the
battery switch should be placed in the OFF position to allow
both batteries to be isolated from all circuits.
The COMBINE setting should be reserved only for emergency
starting when either the House or Engine batteries have failed
while on an outing. Only use the COMBINE setting momentarily
while you need it so as not to drain all batteries completely.
