Battery Charger - Generator
This breaker protects the circuitry between the battery
charger and the generator battery. When the breaker is
"ON" and the battery’s voltage decreases below a prede-
termined level, the battery charger automatically
charges the battery.
Port Engine Battery Master Disconnect Switch
This switch controls the flow of electricity from the port
engine’s dedicated battery to the port engine’s starter.
Placing the switch in the "ON" position provides power
to the engine starter.
Starboard Engine Battery Master Disconnect
Switch
This switch controls the flow of electricity from the
starboard engine’s dedicated battery to the starboard
engine’s starter. Placing the switch in the "ON" position
provides power to the engine starter.
The 12 volt batteries that power your boat's DC electri-
cal system are located between the engines on the boat’s
centerline.
While the batteries are relatively maintenance-free,
there are a few things you can do to increase their
effectiveness and life.
The batteries contain electrolyte which is an acid.
Wear gloves and protective eyewear when working on
and around the batteries.
When servicing the batteries avoid spilling electrolyte
into the engine compartment or bilge. Also, avoid
getting any salt water in or on the battery. Either of
these conditions can create a poisonous gas that is
harmful if inhaled.
If you spill electrolyte, ventilate the area of the spill.
Neutralize the acid in the electrolyte by pouring baking
soda on the spill. Remove the neutralized electrolyte
using a disposable rag or paper towel.
