DC CIRCUIT PROTECTION
As part of the direct current circuitry, depending on the make and
model engine you chose, will have either in line fuses or a fuse box
for its electrical components. Th
ese fuses protect the engine wiring
from overloads. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s manual for the
fuse locations, sizes, and operations.
A dash fuse box protects the individual switch controlled
components and is located in the starboard bow storage locker.
Th
e ignition panel is protected by a 20 amp breaker usually mounted
to the panel itself. All gauges and helm electrical systems like the
head radio unit are protected by a dashboard protection fuse located
underneath the dash connected to the ignition switch. Your fusion
stereo is also protected by a fusion installed stereo memory fuse
normally located underneath the dash along the radio wiring, in
addition to the Regal provided stereo memory fuse in the engine
compartment near the battery switch. Additionally, there is an
automatic bilge pump fuse located next to the battery switch in the
engine compartment. See chapter 3.
If the fuses “blow” or breakers “pop” due to an overload, the cause
should be investigated before replacing the fuse or resetting the
breaker. Only replace fuses with the same amperage and type. In
emergency situations, fuses installed in the fuse block for features
that are not used on your model can be used as replacements when
appropriately sized for the fuse your are replacing.
