5.8 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The boat's wiring diagram is shown in Appendix 3. The main switch
is located on the starboard side, behind the helm station. However,
the automatic bilge pump is always operational when the battery is
connected. When the circuit is closed, the various devices can be
operated with the switch panel at the helm station.
The navigation lights are switched on with the running light switch
(see Figure 5). Remember to install the removable mast light in posi-
tion. Windscreen wipers on either side of the boat are operated with
appropriate switches. To check the amount of bilge water, activate
the bilge pump with its switch (see Figure 5). If you cannot hear the
sound of water flowing beside the boat at the stern, the automatic
system has drained the water properly.
The electrical system is pre-fitted for adding various optional equip-
ment, and is fully fitted for adding a radio/CD player and two spea-
kers. The boat is also partially fitted for adding a fuel-burning heater.
The layout of controls and electrical equipment is shown in Figu-
res 4 and 5.
The fuses for electrical circuits are located in a separate fuse panel
inside the helm console (see Figure 4). The XO boats are equipped
with automatic fuses. If such a fuse is tripped as a result of overload,
you can easily reset it by pushing down the fuse button that has
popped up. The electrical system has two additional circuits, ‘Extra
1’ (10 A) and ‘Extra 2’ (10 A) (wiring diagram positions F13-F14 and
F17-F19). These circuits are protected with fuses and are designed
for connecting retrofitted optional equipment. The wires for these
circuits can be found in the switch panel. Do not replace the fuses
with fuses that have higher current ratings, and do not add compo-
nents to the electrical system so that the circuit's nominal ampe-
rage rating is exceeded.
Zinc anodes are installed on the transom. Replace the anodes when
they are over 50% of their original size.
WARNING!
Never use the hull for earthing. Both the negative and positive
sides of all electrical installations must be insulated from the hull.
