Boats equipped with two batteries have a battery select switch to indicate which battery will
be used. The switch is labeled “1”, “2”, “1+2” and “off”. In normal use alternate between the
battery “1” and battery “2” positions. The battery that is selected will provide power to the engine
and accessories. In an emergency situation when neither battery will start the engine, the select
switch allows you to combine the power of both batteries by selecting “1+2”. However, once the
engine is started, you should return the switch to the “1” or “2” position. See
“Battery Wiring with
Select Switch” on page 8–12 for a diagram. .

Your boat is equipped with automatic float switches on the bilge pumps. This will enable the
bilge pumps to come on automatically if a significant amount of water accumulates in the bilge.
The float switches are wired directly to the batteries and should be inspected frequently to ensure
proper operation. They function independently of the battery select switches and can activate the
bilge pumps with the battery select switches in the “off” position. The bilge pumps are equipped
with switches at the helm. When a switch is in the “on” position, the pump will run continuously.
The pump should not be left on unless someone is monitoring the system and can turn the pump
off when the bilge is dry. When a switch is in the off position, the pump is off unless activated by
the float switch.

latch the lid of the enclosure.
