If a fuse consistently blows, please have your electrical circuitry checked
by a professional.
NorthStar 190 CC is equipped with a removable 360° Pole light that
satisfies the 1 meter rule of the COLREG which requires a minimum of 1
meter height difference between the navigation lights and the pole light.
You are not required to keep this light installed during daytime when there
is good visibility. At night or when the visibility condition dictates the use of
the pole light, simply remove it from its location under the port bow hatch
and install it in the plug provided on the aft starboard side of the boat. To
retain it, tighten the locking collar. When not in use, simply remove it by
loosening its collar and stow it under the portside bow hatch by inserting it
on the clips provided.
The second switch will operate the port/starboard navigation light and must
be used in the dark or when the visibility condition dictates, while
underway. Fuse 15A.
The third switch is for the bilge pump. It must be operated when there is
water in the bilge. This pump will fail in short time if let run dry.
Battery acid is corrosive, so you have to protect eyes and skin if you have
to work on it. You must rinse splashes of acid with fresh water and consult
a doctor immediately. You can neutralize splashes of acid on the skin or on
clothes with acid transformer or soapsuds.
If one has drunk acid, please contact your doctor immediately.
Check and top up acid level periodically. Check from time to time if the
battery terminals have a tight sit and if there are corrosion patches.
