Battery Switch Panel Feeds
The house and electronics breakers discon-
nect ALL battery power to the electronics
and house battery switch. These breakers
are located in the starboard battery compart-
ment. If the boat is stored out of the water,
turn off the house and electronics breakers
to ensure there is no electrical drain from the
associated batteries. Turning off the house
main will disable the CO detector, the auto-
matic bilge pumps and high water alarm and
cause the stereo memory to be lost. These
breakers should NEVER be turned off if the
boat is kept in the water as the automatic
bilge pumps will not run. The high bilge
water warning horn will sound for several
seconds when the house breaker is acti-
vated.
Battery Switches
There are three battery switches to manage
the 12-volt power distribution. One switch
controls the port and starboard engine bat-
teries. Another switch controls the center
engine and generator batteries. The third
switch controls the house and the electron-
ics batteries. The port and starboard batter-
ies, the center engine and generator
batteries or the electronics and house bat-
teries can be paralleled by switching to the
"combine batteries" position.
Make sure the electronics and house and
the engines battery switches are in the "ON"
position whenever the engines are running
to ensure ALL 12-volt accessories will oper-
ate when they are needed. Current is sup-
plied to CO detector, the automatic float
switches for the bilge pumps, stereo mem-
ory, high water bilge alarm and the sump
when the batteries are connected and the
battery switches are "OFF" (battery switch
panel feed breakers must be "ON").
Bow Thruster Main
This main fuse provides protection to the
bow thruster and its wiring. The fuse is
located in the control enclosure adjacent to
the bow thruster battery under the forward
berth. A spare fuse is also stored in the
enclosure.
