1. Provide AC power to the boat, from either a shore power source or
the generator. Refer to 3.2.1 Shore Power or 3.2.2 Generator
Power for more information.
2. On the AC Control Center, switch the Battery Charger 2 circuit
breaker “ON.” Refer to 3.3.2 AC Control Center for more informa-
tion. The generator battery charger now automatically charges the
generator battery when its voltage drops below a predetermined
level.
The generator battery charger is located in the engine room on the port
forward bulkhead. Refer to 9.7.4 Engine Room for the exact location of
this battery charger.
2.2 Operating the 12-Volt Equipment
Power to your boat’s 12-volt equipment is controlled by circuit breakers
and, in most cases, individual controls for each piece of equipment.
Your boat contains three 12-volt circuit breaker panels:
• Safety Breaker Panel
• DC Control Center
• Bridge Breaker Panel.
The circuit breakers on these panels enable you to control the electricity
to either the equipment itself or to the equipment’s controls by switching
the breakers “ON” or “OFF.” They also protect the electrical system by
automatically disconnecting the circuit from the power source in the
event of a short or overload. Power is supplied to these circuit breaker
panels by the “house” battery.
There are also thermal circuit breakers installed in many circuits to
provide added protection for components in those circuits. These circuit
breakers are located near the master disconnect switches.
Never reset a breaker that has been automatically tripped without first
correcting the problem. Failure to follow this procedure may create a
dangerous situation.
NOTE: Sometimes a circuit breaker location is labeled but no circuit
breaker is present. In this case, the component named on the label is an
option that is not installed on your boat.
