NOTE!
Use the AUX circuit if you are installing optional equip-
ment to the boat. Connect the device to both power
supply as well as the negative wire. Never use the hull
for earthing.
When leaving the boat for a longer time, turn off the
main switch. Detach the battery from the system
when doing electrical installation. When detaching
or attaching batteries, be careful not to touch the
aluminum parts of the boat or both poles of the
battery simultaneously with a metal tool.
Charge the batteries only with either the engine,
shore power charger* or a battery charger. Charging
with too big current may cause danger of explosion.
Make sure the battery space is adequately ventilated.
The hydrogen that is released while charging the
battery may explode if the ventilation is prevented.
6.1.1 BATTERIES
Boat are equipped with five batteries; Two start
batteries and two service batteries. Boat thruster have
own battery. The recommended battery capacity in the
boat is 4 x 100 (Ah).
The boat’s electric system is built in such a way that
the batteries are positioned in the fore part of the
engine compartment. Remove the batteries from the
boat for the duration of winter storage.When removing
the batteries, detach the negative (-) terminal first.The
batteries can be recharged in three ways: by using the
engine, shore power or the generator.
The primary battery charger in the boat is the shore power
charger, which functions when the boat is connected to
the shore power system. The secondary chargers are
the boat’s engines, which recharge batteries when the
boat is not connected to shore power. As an optional
extra, the boat may also be equipped with a generator
which also recharges the boat’s batteries when running.
The recharging sequence of the batteries is prioritised
in such a way that the engine batteries are charged first
and then the service batteries.
