DC Electrical System
Your boat is equipped with a 12 volt DC (direct current) system. The DC breaker panel is located at the helm just
below the ignition panel.
Circuit Breakers and Fuses
Circuit breakers and fuses for engines, main accessory power and windlass power are at the helm station. Some
equipment, such as depth finders and shower pumps, may have secondary fuse protection at the unit.
Batteries
The batteries supply electricity for lights and accessories, as well as engine and generator starting (if equipped).
Battery Maintenance
•
Remove the battery caps and check the electrolyte level every 30 days or more often in hot weather. Add distilled
water to the cells if necessary.
•
Corroded battery terminals can be cleaned with baking soda and water. After cleaning the terminals, coat them
with a light film of battery terminal lubricant and tighten all battery connections.
Battery Condition
The port and starboard engine battery voltage is shown on the helm’s instrument panel. The voltage of the accessory
battery can be read on the starboard engine voltmeter when the accessory battery switch is turned On.
Alternators
When the engines are running, the alternators installed on your boat maintain proper charge levels in the engine and
accessory batteries.
Battery Charger
•
Your boat is equipped with a battery charger. It is located next to the battery switches in the engine room.
•
The battery charger’s circuit breaker is located on the AC panel and must be turned On for charging to occur.
•
The battery charger will charge the boat’s batteries when the boat is plugged into 120 volt shore power or when
the generator (If Equipped) is running.
•
Thoroughly read and understand the battery charger manual (provided in your boat’s owner’s packet) before using
the charger.
The battery charging systems (alternators and battery charger) installed are designed to
charge conventional lead-acid batteries. Before installing gel-cell or other new technology
batteries, consult with the battery manufacturer about charging systems requirements.
