9.0 ELECTRICAL
9.1 General
The electrical system in your Tartan Yacht has been designed to ensure as much trouble free
operation as possible. Wiring and connections are kept as high in the interior of the yacht as
practicable, reducing the possibility of exposure to water. The main switch panels are located to
protect them as much as possible from the elements. The system in the Tartan 3700 is designed
much like your home. All the main circuit breakers are designed to be left in the on position. The
entire panel is shut of at the main battery switch should you decide to leave your boat for extended
periods of time. The breakers at the battery shut off switch are designed to always be hot. These
items include the bilge pumps, memory, courtesy lighting and inverter control.
9.2
Batteries
Tartan Yachts are factory supplied with batteries. The battery box is located under the aft cabin bunk.
Note: Do NOT turn the main battery switch to "OFF" while the engine is running as serious damage to
the charging system will result. The engine manufacturer recommends that you do not change batteries
with this switch while the engine is running.
Contact your Tartan Dealer for recommended battery sizing.
9.3 Alternator
All engines are equipped with the standard alternator as supplied by the engine manufacturer.
However, you may have an optional HIGH OUTPUT alternator installed. Please consult the product
manufacturers manual for details on operation and care.
9.4
Charging System
Please consult the product manufacturer’s manual for details on operation and care.

Many owners add electronic equipment such as knotmeters, distance logs, depth sounders, (all of which
usually require thru hull fittings) and relative wind indicators, wind speed indicators, radio direction finders,
VHF, SSB radios as well as various types of electronic navigation aids such GPS and Loran. Many of these
items may be installed while the yacht is being built or later by the Tartan Dealer.

Thru Hull Fittings
If other than standard thru hull fittings are required and are to be added after the yacht is built,
consult the Tartan Dealer to determine the correct positioning of the thru hull fitting. Directions
