12V ELECTRIC SYSTEM
12 Volt Distribution Panel
The 12V power from your batteries is distributed throughout your boat via a distribution panel. This panel separates the
current into separate circuits. Each circuit is protected by an individual breaker switch which allows you to turn the
individual circuits on or off as needed at the panel. Each breaker switch has an individual amperage rating which it is
designed to trip at in case it is overloaded.
Never work on a live electric fitting.
Never tamper with an electric fitting. Call in a technician qualified in marine electricity.
The batteries must be carefully and safely stowed.
In order to prevent a short circuit between the battery terminals, do not store conductive objects near the batteries (e.g.
metal tools, ...)
Never alter the specifications of the breakers, which protect against overload.
Never fit or replace the electric materials or appliances with components, which exceed the system amperage.
Terminal Block
The panel is wired to the boat thru a wago block strip. The boat's wiring harness and the panel are connected together at
the wiring block strip using a series of plugs from each that snap onto opposite sides of the wiring block strip. Each of the
boats positive 12V circuits connect to it's circuit breaker in the panel this way, i.e.: Wire #7 "Deck Light' connects across
the wiring block to circuit breaker #7 on the panel. The negative side of the circuits lead to a common ground.
Each strip on the wago wiring block is an individual block mounted side by side on a frame to form the wiring block strip.
These individual blocks can be connected to the blocks on either side of it to create a larger circuit as in the saloon lights.
Wires are inserted into the block by:
1. Inserting a small screwdriver into the inside hole and pressing down.
2. Insert the wire.
3. Remove the screwdriver
Remove wires by inserting the screwdriver and pulling out the wire.
Batteries
The amount of charge the battery is receiving can be checked on the voltmeter, which is graduated in volts. This should be
done when the battery is cold (has not been recharged or used for several hours beforehand). A reading of less than 11.5 V
means that recharging is necessary.
WARNING! NEVER OPERATE ISOLATING SWITCHES WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING - DOING SO
COULD DAMAGE THE ALTERNATOR DIODES AND REGULATOR BEYOND REPAIR.
