Electrical Systems
4.1 General
Your Pursuit boat is equipped with DC and
AC electrical systems. The DC system draws
current from onboard batteries. The AC sys-
tem can draw current from either shore power
outlets at dockside or the generator.
Electrical schematics are included in this
manual to assist technicians in the servicing
the electrical systems. Pursuit recommends
you take your boat to an authorized Pursuit
dealer for service or installation of additional
electrical equipment. Pursuit reserves the
right to modify or update the electrical system
at any time without notice to the consumer or
obligation to make updates to boats built prior
to the change.
Some compartments on your boat may be
lighted. Lights bulbs produce heat and can
ignite combustible products. Turn off all light-
ing before you leave the boat.
WARNING
!
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Ignited combustible products can
cause fire or explosion, resulting in
death or serious injury. DO NOT store
combustibles near lights and turn off
all lighting before leaving the boat.
4.2 DC System
Batteries
The 12-volt batteries have been selected
to provide optimum performance for engine
starting, house and electronics loads. There
are 7 batteries; 3 lead acid batteries for the
engines located in the starboard cockpit
compartment, 3 AGM batteries for house
and electronics located in the port cockpit
compartment, and 1 AGM battery for the
bow thruster located under the cabin forward
lounge seat. The AGM batteries are main-
tenance free. Refer to the engine owner’s
manual for information on the circuit breakers
installed on your engines.
DC Distribution
The 12-volt DC system batteries are charged
by the engine charging system or the bat-
tery charger when connected to shore power
or when operating the generator. 12-volt
power is distributed to the battery switches
and breakers on the Main Distribution Panel
(MDP) (located under the helm seat) that pro-
tect the switch panels on the helm and in the
cabin. The battery voltage for the house and
electronics batteries is monitored using the
volt meters on the MDP. The engine battery
voltage is monitored on the engine multi-func-
tion display.
The circuit breaker on each engine protects
the engine ignition systems and gauges.
Refer to the engine owner’s manual for infor-
mation on your engines.
