The shore power cords coming off the bow can be wrapped loosely around the bowline.
On shore power, the electrical outlets will be functional under the 110 volt AC system. They will not work
under the 12-volt DC system unless the inverter is tuned on.
12 Volt DC System
This system is powered by the marine batteries aboard Otter and powers everything onboard not powered by
the 110 volt AC system.
The House batteries are Battery #1 and are located under the navigation desk seat. The engine start battery is
Battery #1 and is under the aft berth just to port of the engine transmission. Make sure “BOTH” batteries are
ON when under power, or when connected to shore power for recharging. Always keep the engine battery
switches “On”.
Note -- Do not change the position of the battery switches while the engine is running, or
the alternator diodes will be damaged. Change positions with the engine off.
The running, steaming, and anchor lights are all controlled from the electrical panel above the navigation
table. Interior lights are also powered from a circuit breaker on this panel. Each interior light also has an
individual switch at each fixture. There are three 12 volt auxiliary plugs (cigarette lighter plugs). One
located on the electrical panel, one near the companionway cover and the other on the engine control panel
in the cockpit.
When not connected to shore power, the house battery is providing all power. Avoid draining the batteries
by using power sparingly at anchor:
- Use only one or two lights at a time.
- Turn off systems not in use such as instruments, VHF, autopilot, running lights, steaming lights,
tank indicators, stereo, etc.
Monitor the use of onboard electricity carefully with your voltmeter located at the navigation station.
Voltage (Wet Cell Battery) Avoid drawing down the batteries below 12.25 volts as this will damage the
batteries and shorten life.
