WARNING
Never tow a boat with water re-
maining in the ballast bags.
The weight of ballast increases the
load on the trailer, the axle, and the
tires, which could lead to prema-
ture wear or failure. This also con-
tributes to reduce the stability of
your vehicle on the road by raising
the center of gravity of the trailer.
Always completely empty the bal-
last bags before trailering.
46) Main Battery Cut-Off
Switch
This switch allows a complete power
cut-out of the electrical system.
When in OFF position, ALL electrical
equipment and electronics will be OFF
except bilge pump and radio/CD mem-
ory power. The bilge pump will op-
erate automatically with the battery
switch on the OFF position.
Switch must be in the ON position to
allow the use of electrical components
and to start the engines.
CAUTION: Stop engines before
switching to the OFF position.
