Battery Switch(es)
All of your electrical systems onboard your Regal eventually connect
with your battery. This is where electrical power originates. In order
for any electrical system to receive power, with the exception of your
automatic bilge pump function and stereo memory requires a battery
switch(es) to be turned “ON”. The two excluded systems have a direct
battery feed at all times without the use of the battery switches. The
battery switches connect the battery to all deck and engine circuitry. It
is important to turn your batteries “ON” before each trip, and “OFF”
at the end of each cruise to avoid battery drain.
Never turn a battery switch to the “OFF” position when the outboard
engine is running as stator or other electrical system damage will occur.
Also, for extended non-use turn the battery switches to “OFF”.
The standard battery switch is located below the stbd aft side seat
cushion. With the stereo performance package option normally a 40
amp breaker protects the amplifi er. A 60 amp breaker protects the
circuit wiring up to the helm.
The stereo memory and the bilge pump fuses are located near the
battery switch box as reference below. The stereo memory fuse is 15
amps and the bilge pump fuse and automatic side of the bilge pump
is 5 amps. These circuits will continue to function even with a battery
switch in the “OFF” position. It is recommended to turn all battery
switches to the “OFF” position when leaving the vessel for extended
periods. See the equipment chapter for further information.
Note that the above information utilizes a “house” battery switch and
an “engine” starting battery switch on your 29 OBX.
