Alternator
The engine alternator will keep the batteries properly charged when running at cruising speeds.
Battery Charger
Your boat is equipped with a battery charger. Thoroughly read and understand the battery charger manual before
using the battery charger for the first time.
•
The battery charger will charge the boat’s batteries whenever the boat is plugged into 120V/60Hz shore power and
the "BATTERY CHARGER" AC breaker is On.
•
The battery charger is independent of the battery switch. For proper charging, the battery switch can be in
any position.
•
You may use DC powered electrical systems, such as the lights and stereo when the battery charger is On, but
there will be a corresponding drop in charger performance.
ENGINE & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
NEVER run the boat’s engine and the battery charger at the same time.
CAUTI ON!
!
The battery charging systems (alternator and battery charger) installed on your boat are
designed to charge conventional lead-acid batteries. Before installing gel-cell or other new tech-
nology batteries, consult with the battery manufacturer about charging system requirements.
