Engine Main Breakers
The primary circuits for the engines are protected
by heavy duty, “push to reset” breakers on each
engine. They are supplied power whenever the
engine battery switches are on. Refer to the engine
owner’s manual for information on the location and
operation of the engine circuit breakers.
6.5 Fuse Panels
Your boat could be equipped with additional DC
fuse panels, depending on the options selected.
The fuses are labeled for the accessory circuit
they protect. Some fuse panels contain blank
fuse holders that are reserved for additional ac-
cessories not usually installed by the factory.
If a fuse blows, it must be replaced with a fuse of
the same amperage as the original. The fuses are
labeled and color coded. The amperage rating is
also clearly printed on the fuse housing. Never
try to correct a problem with a 12 volt accessory
by installing a larger fuse. This could cause the
accessory or circuit with a problem to overheat,
which could result in an electrical fire.
A fuse panel is typically installed on the optional
generator near the controls to protect the DC cir-
cuits. Other fuse panels could be installed in the
starboard cabin storage compartment below the
helm to protect the circuits for optional electronics
such as radar and an auto pilot or other optional
equipment.
