Battery Charger
– Operates from the shore power or generator sys-
tems. It converts 110 volts A.C. to 12 volts D.C. to charge the batter-
ies. The battery charger will either deliver full output to a discharged
battery, or deliver a trickle charge to a battery with minimal dis-
charge. Consult the battery charger operator’s manual for more infor-
mation.
Battery Isolator
– Allows you to charge multiple batteries. The isola-
tor automatically detects how much of a charge to send each battery.
It prevents batteries from being overcharged, and eliminates a higher
charged battery from discharging into a lower charged battery.
Consult the battery isolator operator’s manual for more information.
Horn Button
– Push and hold to sound the horn.
Trim/Tilt Switch
– Your engine is equipped with power trim and tilt,
this switch activates that function. Push and hold the switch until the
engine is at the desired angle. Use this switch in combination with
the trim gauge to maximize boat performance in the water. The tilt
switch raises the drive unit for trailering.
Trim Tab Switches
– These rocker switches control the trim tabs
located on the port and starboard transom. Adjusting trim tabs will
improve the ride of your boat and correct listing from side to side due
to varying weight conditions. See the RUNNING section of this man-
ual for further trimming procedures.
Engine Stop Switch and Lanyard
– The engine stop switch stops
the engine when engaged. Attach the lanyard to the boat operator
whenever the engine is running. If the operator is thrown from the
seat or moves too far from the helm the lanyard will engage the
switch and shut off the engine.
To attach the lanyard, hold out the button head and slide the fork
beneath the safety switch. Attach the hook on the opposite end of
the lanyard to a strong piece of clothing on the operator, such as a
belt loop.
Attach the Engine Stop Switch lanyard to the operator
before starting the engine. This will prevent the boat
from becoming a runaway if you are accidentally
thrown from the boat.
The Engine Stop Switch can only be effective when it is
in good working condition. Observe the following:
Never remove or modify the Engine Stop Switch
and/or lanyard.
Lanyard must always be free from obstructions that
could interfere with its operation .
ONCE A MONTH: Check switch for proper operation.
With engine running, pull lanyard. If engine does not
stop, see your DEALER for replacement of switch.
