ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Safe Operation of Electrical Systems
•
Check battery and charging system condition before going to sea. Use the console gauges and
check voltage levels after starting the inboard engine.
•
Disconnect and remove the battery when the boat is in winter storage (cold weather areas)
or long term storage
•
Check the function of navigation lights before embarking on night passages and carry
replacement bulbs for all navigation lights
•
Never modify the boat’s electrical system or relevant drawings; installation, alterations and
maintenance should only be performed by a competent marine electrical technician
•
Never leave the boat unattended with the electrical system energised (with the exception of
the automatic 24hr bilge pump, fire protection or alarm circuits)
Petrol vapour can explode. Only fit ignition protected marine parts to replace such
items as starters, distributors, alternators, generators etc.
Do not use jump leads in the petrol engine/tank space or carry out any activity that
could generate sparks
Never install or replace electrical appliances or devices with components exceeding
the rated current amperage of the circuit. Never alter or modify the rated current
amperage of over-current protection devices
When charging and connecting/disconnecting a battery ensure that no water or
metallic objects can inadvertently come into contact with the terminals.
Protective terminal covers such as rubber boots on electrical connections must
be in place at all times except when servicing equipment.
