ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
The electrical systems in your Tiara have been designed and built to the recom-
mendations of the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) and requirements
of the United States Coast Guard, and have received National Marine Manu-
facturers Association (NMMA) Yacht Certification. They have been developed to
supply all the boat’s electrical needs at the dock, at anchor, and underway. While
this manual will not attempt to describe all of the electrical engineering that went
into the system, a basic understanding will help assure trouble-free operation.
All of the electrical functions on your boat are part of three basic systems: 12V
DC, 120/240V AC, and bonding.
ALL SERVICE WORK ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN YOUR
TIARA SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY AN AUTHORIZED TIARA
YACHTS DEALER OR OTHER QUALIFIED MARINE ELECTRICAL
SERVICE FACILITY. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING
!
4.1 THE 12V DC SYSTEM
4.1.1 Power Supply
Your boat’s DC electrical system is powered by battery banks
(
Table 4-1
)
. The
port and starboard engine battery banks provide the power needed to operate
your vessel safely while underway. The house battery bank supplies power to
all the boat’s comfort and convenience functions such as lighting, pumps, actua
-
tors, 12V stereo, and electronics. The house bank should also be used to power
any aftermarket electronics.
Each engine bank is comprised of two 12V wet flooded cell batteries. The house
bank is comprised of two 12V 8D AGM batteries.
See Chapter 7 for battery
maintenance information.
