BATTERY SWITCHES
There are four battery switches and two parallel switches to manage the 12-volt power distribution.
The Port Start switch controls the battery for the port engine. The Starboard Start switch controls the battery
for the starboard engine. The Parallel switch connects the port and starboard engine batteries for emergency
starting if one of the engine batteries is dead or low.
The Electronics switch provides power to the electronic buss bar that feeds aftermarket electronics
installations. The House switch provides power to the house circuits on the boat. If the Electronics or House
battery is dead or low, the Parallel switch can be used to connect the two batteries together.
For information on battery charging using the on-board charger, refer to Battery Charger in the AC Systems
section of this chapter.
THE BOAT SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS WITH THE EMER-
GENCY PARALLEL SWITCH IN THE "ON" POSITION.
Make sure that all battery switches are activated whenever the engines are running to ensure that all 12-volt
accessories will operate when they are needed. Current is supplied to the automatic float switches for the
bilge pumps, high water bilge alarm and stereo memory when the batteries are connected and the
battery switches are off.
