Electrical System
Bilge Lights
Protects the circuit that supplies 12-volt electri-
cal current to the Bilge Light switch in the helm
switch panel.
Cockpit Lights
Protects the circuit that supplies 12-volt electrical
current to the Cockpit Lights switch in the helm
switch panel.
Baitwell Lights
Protects the circuit that supplies 12-volt electri-
cal current to the Bait Light switch in the helm
switch panel.
Fwd Bilge
A continuous power circuit breaker that supplies
the circuit for the automatic float switch that ac -
tivates the bilge pump located in bilge below the
aft berth in the cabin.
Aft Bilge
A continuous power circuit breaker that protects
the circuit for the automatic float switch that ac -
tivates the aft bilge pump located in bilge near
the transom.
Fresh Water
Supplies 12-volt electrical current to the fresh
water switch located in the helm switch panel. A
pressure switch on the pump automatically con-
trols the water pump when the system is activated
and properly primed.
Raw Water
Supplies 12-volt electrical current to the Raw
Water switch located in the helm switch panel.
A pressure switch on the automatically controls
the water pump when the system is activated and
properly primed.
Port Fishbox
Protects the circuit that supplies 12-volt electrical
current to the Fish box switch that controls the
diaphragm discharge pump for the port aft floor
fish box.
Starboard Fishbox
Protects the circuit that supplies 12-volt electrical
current to the Fish box switch that controls the
diaphragm discharge pump for the starboard aft
floor fish box.
Fwd Baitwell
Protects the circuit that supplies 12-volt electri-
cal current to the Baitwell 1 switch that controls
the baitwell pump for the baitwell below the aft
facing stern seat.
Aft Baitwell
Protects the circuit that supplies 12-volt electrical
current to the Baitwell 2 switch that controls the
baitwell pump for the transom baitwell, if this op-
tion is installed. Otherwise, it is wired in reserve.
Battery Switch Panel and Circuit Breakers
DC Power is distributed to the cabin DC breaker
panel, electronics and other main circuits through
heavy duty, “push to reset,” circuit breakers in the
battery switch panel located in the compartment
below the helm seats. These main circuits are
deactivated when the house battery switch is OFF.
Some 12-volt accessories are operated directly
by circuit breakers in the panels while others are
operated by switches fed by the panel breakers.
Each breaker is labeled for the accessory it pro -
tects. The engine and house battery switches are
also located on this panel.
NOTICE:
Some of the main circuit breakers are high
amperage, heavy duty (usually red) breakers
and will require a firm push to reset them
if they trip. Always make sure the problem
that caused the breaker to trip is found and
corrected before resetting the breaker.
The following are the main circuits supplied
and protected by heavy duty circuit breakers:
DC Main
Protects the circuit that supplies 12-volt current
to the Cabin DC Panel. This circuit is deactivated
when the house battery switch is off.
Windlass (Optional)
Protects the circuit that supplies 12-volt current to
the windlass control switch and main circuit bat-
tery switch relay located near the forward battery.
Generator
Protects the circuit for the generator control panel
and the starting circuit.
Constant Hot
Protects the circuit for the constant hot “Push to
Reset” circuit breakers in the cabin DC panel. This
circuit is always supplied current when the house
batteries are connected.
