Windlass
The optional windlass is operated by a separate switch and is protected by an 80A
breaker located below the switch. Refer to the windlass manual for operation and
maintenance.
Blower
Generator equipped boats have a bilge blower to rid the bilge of explosive fumes. The
blower switch is located inside of the cabin near the A/C – D/C panel. Always operate
the blower a minimum of four minutes and check the bilge for fumes before starting the
engine. Operate the blower whenever engine is running and the boat is stopped (or
operating at low speed). At speed, air blows through the bilge keeping fumes under
control and blower operation is unnecessary.
Circuit Breakers
The wiring on your
30 Express
is protected by circuit breakers and/or fuses. In the event
a device stops working, check to see if the circuit breaker is tripped or the fuse is blown.
The main breaker is located on the aft starboard side stringer and is accessible from the
bilge hatch. Additional breakers / fuses for the bilge pump, trim tabs, etc. are located
next to the main breaker and on the dash panel. A tripped breaker will protrude from its
set position indicating that the circuit has been overloaded. Turn off the device(s) on the
circuit then reset the breaker by pushing in once. If the breaker does not reset or if it
resets and then trips again after the device is turned back on, then a short circuit exists or
your device may be damaged, overloaded, or faulty. Correct the problem and then reset
the breaker. If the breaker continues to trip and you are certain the device, switch, and
wiring is in good repair; then either the breaker is too small for the load, or is faulty.
Reduce the load or replace the breaker.
