ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
4.1 General
Your Pursuit is equipped with a 12-volt DC electrical system and may be equipped with an optional AC system.
The AC system draws current from shore power outlets at dockside. The DC system draws current from on-
board batteries.
The Group 31, 12-volt batteries provided in your boat are of the lead-acid type. They will require periodic
maintenance. The batteries are located under the console seat.
There are electrical schematics included in this manual to assist with servicing the electrical systems.
COMPARTMENTS ON A PURSUIT BOAT MAY BE LIGHTED FOR NIGHT USE. LIGHT
BULBS GENERATE HEAT AND CAN IGNITE ORDINARY COMBUSTIBLES CAUSING A
FIRE. DO NOT PLACE OR STORE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS IN CONTACT WITH
LIGHT BULBS. TURN OFF ALL LIGHTING PRIOR TO LEAVING THE BOAT.
4.2 12-Volt DC System
There are three batteries located in a compartment in the leaning post; one for the starboard engine, one for
the port engine and a house or accessory battery. All batteries can be charged by the engine or by the battery
charger when connected to shore power. An automatic voltage control system manages charging of the
batteries whenever the engine is running.
Twelve-volt power is distributed to the 12-volt accessories through individual circuit breakers located in the
12-volt breaker panel on the helm and in the head compartment. Main breakers located on the battery switch
panel protect these panels. Other circuit breakers on the module protect the circuits for the optional windlass,
high amperage components, the stereo memory and the automatic float switches for the aft and mid bilge
pumps. A circuit breaker located on each engine protects the engine ignition systems and gauges.
PROPER FUSE OR BREAKER PROTECTION MUST BE PROVIDED FOR ALL 12-VOLT
EQUIPMENT ADDED. DO NOT OVERLOAD THE ACCESSORY CIRCUIT BREAKERS OR
OTHER CIRCUITRY THROUGH ADDITIONAL 12-VOLT EQUIPMENT.
