NOTICE
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act
prohibits the discharge of oil or oily waste
into the water. Violators can be fined
$5,000.00.
Water will enter the boat under a number of
adverse conditions such as heavy seas, strong
storms and long periods of rain. The bilge is the
deepest part of the hull where the water settles.
The bilge pump(s) removes the collected water
from the bilge through an opening in the hull.
Most bilge pumps are automatically operated by a
switch that monitors the level of water in the bilge.
The bilge pump system is designed to function
automatically when the battery switches are in the
OFF position. The bilge pump can also be
manually operated by a switch located at the
helm, provided the system is supplied with power
(the house battery switch is ON).
Do not allow the bilge pump to operate
after all the water has been cleared from
the bilge area. Damage to the pump will
occur if the pump is allowed to operate
without water.
Bilge blowers ventilate the engine compartment.
The blowers are controlled by a switch at the
helm or from a switch on the generator panel of
the DC control panel.
Operate the blower for at least four
minutes each time you start the engines. In
addition, the blower should be operated
continuously when at idle and during slow
speed operation. Failure to operate the
blower can cause an explosion.
! WARNING
CAUTION
DC ELECTRICAL
Your Formula boat has a battery powered 12-volt
negative ground DC system. The positive wire is
hot, and feeds current from the batteries to all
12-volt equipment; the negative wire is the ground
and completes the circuit back to the battery.
Models Without Shore Power
Single engine application: Until the engine is
running, all DC electrical power is supplied by the
auxiliary/start battery. Once the engine is running,
the DC electrical power is provided by the engine
alternator. The alternator provides more power as
the engine speed increases. When the engine is
operating, the alternator is also charging the
battery.
Twin engine application: The starboard battery
supplies power only to the starboard engine. All
DC Power is still provided by the port
auxiliary/start battery. Once the engine is
operating above 1200 RPM, the engine’s
alternator provides the electrical power, which
continues to increase as the engine speed rises.
The alternator also charges the respective
engine’s battery. Refer to Battery Selector
Switches in Section 4.
Note: In twin engine applications, if the use of DC
equipment has depleted the power in the battery
to the point it will not start the port engine, the
following procedure must be used. Start the
starboard engine, engage the Battery Parallel
switch and start the port engine. Once the port
engine is running, disengage the parallel switch.
Note: Power is supplied to the bilge pumps, high
water alarm, galvanic protection system and
stereo memory, through the constant power
circuit, even with the battery switch turned “OFF.”
Models With Shore Power
The cabin DC panel distributes power through the
main circuit breaker which in turn supplies
electricity to operate the:
●
CO Detector
●
Interior Lights
●
Waste Pump
●
Refrigerator
●
Stereo
●
Fresh Water Pump
●
12-volt Outlets
A 100-amp circuit breaker labeled AUXILIARY
POWER protects the DC electrical system from
the batteries to the DC control panel. Refer to
Specifications, in Section 3, for location of the
circuit breaker.
