Chapter 8: Freedom 325
Battery Select Switches
The 325 is equipped with four batteries. The batteries are wired into two banks, each bank
consisting of two batteries paralleled together. There are two battery select switches. One battery
select switch is designated for each engine with the DC powered accessories operating from the
same switch as the starboard engine. Either engine may be started with either battery bank by
selecting position “1” or position “2” on the select switches. In normal use, select position “1” on
the starboard switch and position “2” on the port switch so that the battery banks will charge
simultaneously when the engines are running. The “1 + 2” position should only be selected in
emergency situations when neither battery bank alone will start the engines. Should this event
occur, the switches should be returned to the normal settings after starting the engines.
C A U T I O N
Never turn the battery select switch to the “off” position with the engine running as this could
damage the charging system.
Bilge Pumps/Float Switches
Your boat is equipped with automatic float switches adjacent to the bilge pumps. The float
switch will enable the bilge pump to come on automatically if a significant amount of water
accumulates in the bilge. The float switches are wired directly to the batteries via breakers in the
battery select switch box, and should be inspected frequently to ensure proper operation. The float
switches 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 also equipped with
switches at the helm. When a switch is in the “on” position, the pump will run continuously. When a
switch is in the “off” position, the pump is off unless activated by the float switch. Bilge pumps
should not be left on unless someone is monitoring the system and can turn the pump off when the
bilge is dry.
C A U T I O N
To prevent damage to the bilge pump, do not run it dry for a prolonged period of time.
Bilge Pump Locations
Your boat has two bilge pumps. The aft bilge pump is located below the port center access plate
in the motorwell. The forward bilge pump can be accessed through the port console underneath a
hinged access panel. If your boat is equipped with the optional air conditioner, consult your dealer
for maintenance on your bilge pump.
