Electrical System
the minimum size battery required. Consider
increasing the capacity of the batteries if you will
be trolling, drift fishing or have extensive elec -
tronics on board. Larger batteries will give you
additional capacity to operate the baitwell, DC
accessories and electronics at low speed when
the charging system output from the engines is
minimal. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for
additional information on the battery requirements
for your engines.
Batteries and Battery Switches
Twin Engine Boats
Twin engine boats are equipped with four batteries
located in battery boxes in the systems compart-
ment which is below a hatch in the cockpit sole.
One for each engine and two in parallel for the
house, generator and electronics circuits.
There are three remotely activated battery switch-
es and two remotely activated emergency parallel
switches located in the panel near the batteries.
The remote battery switches and emergency par-
allel switches are activated by special switches
in the helm switch panel. Each battery or the
emergency parallel switch has a manual override
that can activate (enable) or deactivate (disable)
the switch if the remote switch or relay fails. The
manual override is a yellow knob on each battery
switch that can be pressed to manually activate
the switch or rotated to reactivate remote activa-
tion of the switch or to lockout the switch in the
OFF position when servicing the electrical system.
The normal operating position for each switch is
the “Enabled” Position. Refer to the instructions
printed on each switch and/or the battery switch
operating manual for additional information on
the remotely activated switches.
Triple Engine Boats
Triple engine boats are equipped with four bat-
teries located in battery boxes in the systems
compartment which is below a hatch in the cockpit
sole. One battery for the port engine, one bat-
tery for the starboard engine and two batteries
in parallel for the center engine and the house,
generator and electronics circuits.
There are four remotely activated battery switches
and two remotely activated emergency parallel
switches located in the panel near the batteries.
The remote battery switches and emergency par-
allel switches are activated by special switches
in the helm switch panel. Each battery or emer-
gency parallel switch has a manual override that
Typical Battery Switches, Emergency Parallel Switches,
Voltage Sensitive Relays and Main Circuit Breakers
can activate (enable) or deactivate (disable) the
switch if the remote switch or relay fails. The
manual override is a yellow knob on each battery
switch that can be pressed to manually activate
the switch or rotated to reactivate remote activa-
tion of the switch or to lockout the switch in the
OFF position when servicing the electrical system.
The normal operating position for each switch is
the “Enabled” Position. Refer to the instructions
printed on each switch and/or the battery switch
operating manual for additional information on
the remotely activated switches.
Remote Battery Switch Operation
Each battery switch and the emergency parallel
switches are controlled by a single switch in the
helm switch panel. Slide the label down and press
the top of the remote switch to engage the battery
switch. A red light will illuminate to indicate that
the battery is now ON. To turn the battery switch
off, simply slide the label up and press the bot-
tom of the momentary switch. The red light may
not turn off immediately or will slowly fade out if
there are no loads present on the system. This
is normal as the capacitors in the system drain.
Automatic Voltage Sensitive Relays (VSR) control
the charging of the engine and house batteries
whenever the engines are operating. The port
