A red pilot light is wired directly to the battery switch. This light is
always on any time the battery switch is not in the off position. This light
provides you several services, among which is that it will make it easier for you to
tell if you turned your battery switch off before you leave the boat and also
provides illumination for reading the labels of the various circuits at night. The
pilot light has an almost immeasurable drain on the battery so you needn’t fear
leaving its light glowing for long periods of time.
The panels are attached to the wiring harness by a multi-prong plug. Should you
want to remove the panel you merely remove the screws holding it to the
bulkhead, disconnect the battery wires, common, and ground (these are attached
with threaded connections), and disconnect the multi-pronged connector.
Activate only those circuits required in order to conserve the battery charge.
Switch all circuits to the off position when leaving the boat unless you have an
electric bilge pump which you wish to leave on.
Wiring for lighting circuits is twisted AWG #16 with insulation. Engine starter
motor wiring and ground wire is AWG #3 for the ground and #4 for positive. The
lightning ground is AWG #8 wire.
Check engine wiring connections frequently and clean and tighten them if
necessary.

Lightning Ground
The Intrepid is equipped with a lightning ground system which connects the
shroud and stay chainplates to an underwater metal plate mounted on the hull
using AWG #8 wire. Since no one can predict where or how powerfully lightning
may strike, exercise caution. During a lightning storm refrain from touching large
metal objects such as shrouds, mast, stanchions, pulpit, etc. as these may attract
lightning.

Engine and Propulsion System
You have been provided with an instructional manual for the engine in your
Intrepid Yacht. We have just a few suggestions which will probably repeat what the
owner’s manual says regarding your diesel inboard:
1. Familiarize yourself thoroughly with the starting, running and stopping
procedure before you leave the dock.
2. Be sure you are using clean, water-free fuel and that the filters are kept
clean.
3. Diesel fuel is flammable. Treat it with respect.
4. Make sure that you do not put gasoline in your fuel tank in error. Marine,
water-free diesel fuel oil is the only acceptable fuel.
