Inspecting the Circuit-Breakers and Fuses:
Your boat is equipped mainly with resettable circuit breakers. These will pop out if
overloaded, and can be pushed back in with a fingertip to reset them. There is an in-line
fusible link coming off the main battery lead to your distribution panel. It is a Type ATC
30A fuse. Have a spare available in case you need to replace it. Inspect the fuses and the
electrical system of your boat monthly. Shut off the main electrical switch by your battery
(or disconnect the battery) and inspect the accessories. Trace the circuits and inspect
them for chafing and for broken or damaged wires, plugs, switches or connectors. Never
bypass a fuse or circuit breaker. If you are unable to find the cause of the blown circuit,
have your boat serviced by your Kingfisher dealer
.
Servicing Under the Deck:
Access to the bilge and fuel tank is gained by simply unscrewing the aluminum service
panel on the aft deck. If it is necessary to replace the floorboard screws, ensure that you
use high quality stainless steel screws.
Transducer Mounting Plates:
Transducer brackets are a standard design feature. They are intended to reduce the need
to drill holes directly into the hull below the water line. The plates are located at the base
of the transom, where the hull meets the rear of the boat. Simply attach your
transducer(s) directly to this plate on the transom.
Your hull also has a ½” thick plate
mounted in the stern area of the bottom inside the hull which can be used to mount a thru
– hull transducer. Extreme caution must be used when installing this type of transducer to
avoid leakage and potential injury or death
.
Sacrificial Anodes:
Your Kingfisher hull is fitted with two sacrificial anodes welded to the stern of the boat. By
welding on the anodes, Kingfisher ensures that the best possibility contact with the hull
has been achieved. The
boat’s motor(s) will also be fitted with sacrificial anodes. Careful
inspection and replacement of worn anodes are essential to keep the hull in the best
condition possible. Failure to replace a worn anode will result in hull damage and may
void your warranty. See your authorized Kingfisher dealer for sacrificial anode
replacement information.
Storage and Winterizing
Westwinn recommends that your boat be winterized by an authorized Kingfisher dealer.
Your boat should be stored in a covered, well ventilated area to prevent fungus, mold and
mildew. It is best to store it with a breathable cover over it to prevent corrosion and
staining promoted by leaves, tree sap and other debris, and to prevent rainwater from
accumulating inside the boat.
Engine:
Refer
to engine manufacturer’s owners manual for information and instructions on
preparing your engine(s) for winter storage
