Adding Accessories to Your Boat
Breakers are circuit protection (50 amp 12 volt) for the positive (+) leads in the trolling motor wiring (bow to
stern). A problem in the system could result in the breaker(s) being tripped. Should this occur, the breaker(s) can
be reset by pushing the switch. If this occurs again, disconnect battery leads and trace immediately, or take it to
your Ranger dealer for repair.
An ignition protected circuit breaker is used for the accessories. Should a breaker trip, simply reset. This
switch should also be in the “off” position when trailering or storing the boat. It acts as a master switch
and turns off all accessories getting their power from the Ranger fuse panel. Remember, engine circuits will not be
affected by these breakers/switches, but could have breakers or fuses of their own. Consult your engine owners
manual for electrical particulars.
Your new Ranger may have a 4 position battery disconnect switch which functions as noted:
On/run – switch position while boat is in use
Off/Charge – position for storage and charging batteries. Turn switch to this position before connecting battery
charger to 110V outlet
Jump Start – combines crank and trolling battery in case extra starting power is needed
Battery 2 – connects to trolling battery only
