MISCELLANEOUS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Carbon Monoxide Detector
Twelve-volt electrical current is supplied to the carbon monoxide detector by a breaker on the breaker panel.
This is a "push to reset" breaker that is normally on all the time unless tripped by an overload when activated
by the battery switch. It should be checked, and the power indicator on the carbon monoxide detector should
be lit whenever someone is occupying the cabin. If the breaker has tripped, it indicates that there is a problem
with the carbon monoxide detector, the breaker or the wiring from the breaker panel to the detector. Always
determine the cause of the problem and correct it before resetting the breaker.
CARBON MONOXIDE IS A LETHAL, TOXIC GAS THAT IS COLORLESS AND ODORLESS.
IT IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT WILL CAUSE DEATH IN CERTAIN LEVELS.
Cabin Lights
Lighting is controlled by switches on the cabin lights. The fuse that protects the light circuit is located behind
the cabin panel.
HALOGEN LIGHTING CONTAINS A FILAMENT BULB THAT GENERATES INTENSE
HEAT, IS PRESSURIZED AND COULD SHATTER IF SCRATCHED OR DAMAGED. PRO-
TECT GLASS HALOGEN-CYCLE BULBS FROM CONTACT WITH LIQUIDS WHEN OPER-
ATING.
12-Volt Receptacle
Power is provided to the 12-volt accessory receptacle by a breaker located on the breaker panel.
4.5 Electrical System Maintenance
12-VOLT DC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
At least once a year, spray all exposed electrical components behind the helm and in the plugs, with a protector.
Exterior light fixture bulbs should be removed and the metal contact areas coated with a non-water soluble
lubricant like petroleum jelly or silicone grease. The sockets should be sprayed with a protector. Care must
be taken not to get any oil or petroleum jelly on the glass portion of the bulbs as this will cause the bulb to
overheat and burn out.
WHEN REPLACING LIGHT BULBS IN MARINE LIGHT FIXTURES, ALWAYS USE A BULB
WITH THE SAME RATING AS THE ORIGINAL. USING A DIFFERENT BULB COULD
CAUSE THE FIXTURE TO OVERHEAT AND MELT OR SHORT CIRCUIT.
