that provides additional starting power to the
engine starters. When activated, both port and
starboard engine batteries are momentarily used
to crank the engines. When the switch is pressed
and held for three seconds, a relay is engaged
that connects both engine starting batteries. Once
engaged, the relay remains activated for ten min-
utes and then automatically deactivates and the
batteries are isolated.

Additional Accessory Switch Panels
Additional switch panels are located in various
locations in the helm, cockpit and cabin. The fol-
lowing is a description of additional panels that
may be on your Monterey and the accessories
they control:
Trim Tab Switch
Located in the helm. This switch controls the trim
tabs located on the transom of the boat. Please
refer to the Helm Control Systems chapter for
detailed information on the operation of the trim
tab controls.
Stereo Control Pad
Located in the helm. Controls the stereo that is
mounted in the cabin. Refer to the stereo owner’s
manual for details on operating the stereo control
pad.
Holding Tank Macerator
The holding tank overboard discharge macerator
switch panel is located in the head compartment
next to the holding tank monitor. It is a mo-
mentary switch that activates the level indicator
lights and the macerator discharge system for the
holding tank. Refer to the Marine Head System
in the Interior Equipment chapter for additional
information on the operation of the overboard
macerator discharge system.
Engine Trim and Tilt Switches
Located in the helm. These switches are usually
installed in the engine control handles or on the
helm console. They control the trimming and tilt-
ing of the outdrives. Please refer to Helm Control
Systems chapter and the engine owner’s manual
for information regarding the proper use of the
tilt and trim switches.
Automatic Fire Extinguisher Indicator Panel
and Override Switch
The panel is equipped with lights that indicate the
status of the automatic fi re extinguishing system.
The green light indicates the system is charged
and ready. The red light indicates the system has
discharged.
The system is completely automatic and will shut
down the engines when it is activated. The panel
is equipped with an override switch that enables
the operator to restart the engines when he has
determined it is safe to do so. This switch is nec-
essary because diesel engines will consume fi re
extinguishing agent and must be shut down by
the system when it is activated. The fi re extin-
guishing agent will shut down gasoline engines
which can be restarted once the fi re extinguishing
agent has dissipated from the engine compart-
ment. Refer to the Automatic Fire Extinguishing
System in the Safety Equipment chapter and the
manufacturer’s owner’s manual for more infor-
