The Generator is located on the rear deck 

of your houseboat.

Note: On the Voyager XL model only, the 

generator should not be running when 

underway in choppy water as it is water 

cooled and could over heat if unable to 

draw enough water to cool the Gen.

Starting/ Warm Up

The remote start is located on the wall 

of the cabin just inside the rear door. 

(Voyager XL Models only: There is also 

a remote start located to the left of the 

steering wheel at the helm.

•  Confirm that the AC MAIN breaker 

and all other breakers are OFF.

•  Press start button until generator 

starts or for 20 seconds – no longer.

If the engine fails to start, wait 20 

seconds and repeat.

NOTE:

 The engine won’t start with a 

load on the circuit. By continually 

holding the starter switch, you can 

run down the battery or damage the 

starter.

•  Allow the engine to warm up for  

5 minutes.

•  Switch the AC MAIN breaker ON.
•  You may now turn on individual  

breakers to provide power to your  

houseboat.

NOTE:

 Your generator also has an ON/

OFF rocker switch on the generator itself. 

If your remote starter does not work, you 

can try this one. Remember to replace the 

panel cover, on above deck models after 

starting to avoid overheating.
