BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEMS
All models of boats come with three marine batteries housed

power from the GPP generator. Charging from the outboard
motor is also incorporated in the charging system.
The battery compartment provides space for two marine
batteries. The Storage compartment above the batteries
provide space for a marine fire extinguisher and miscellaneous
small items. There is a separate cranking battery for the
outboard motor.
Console Cover provides complete weather protection to the
steering and control console. Constructed of heavy duty
canvas with reinforced corners.
