Battery(ies)
Batteries are not furnished by CROWNLINE Boats, Inc.
Marine batteries are completely sealed using an absorbent electrolyte principle to
provide high reserve capacity, plus cold cranking performance.
If more than one battery is installed, all batteries are electrically isolated from each
other. When the engine is running, each battery is charged automatically and
independent of the other in the ALL position on the battery switch. This provides
complete freedom of battery selection for power use.
Explosion, fire or burn hazard from vented fumes or burns from
battery electrolyte can cause death or serious injury.
• Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when working on or
around batteries.
• DO NOT charge or use a battery booster to start your engine.
• Charge the battery outside of the boat.
• DO NOT smoke or bring a flame near a battery at any time.
• DO NOT have your head directly above a battery when making or
breaking electrical connections.
• DO NOT use a metal object to spark between battery posts to
check if the battery is charged.
• DO NOT disconnect or reconnect battery cables if gasoline fumes
are present.
If battery electrolyte spillage occurs, immediately wash area with a solution of baking
soda and water.
AC/DC Converter and Battery Charger
The AC/DC converting and charging system is fully automatic and permanently
wired into the 12-volt DC system. It operates with standard AC power sources from
105-125 volts (European standards are different).
DC Lighting
See your CROWNLINE dealer for information regarding bulb replacement.
Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupt
The ground-fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) provides additional electric shock protection.
All accessible 120-volt outlet circuits are protected by the GFCI. The GFCI outlet
comes with a built-in test and reset switch.
