Direct Current
12-volt direct current provides electrical power for all lighting, pumps, electronics, and
D/C devices. A main breaker panel is located in the bilge on the starboard stringer.
There is also a D/C panel inside the cabin and a D/C terminal bus panel located behind
the helm inside of the console. Battery selector switches are for battery isolation, parallel
operation, and disconnect.
Caution:
To avoid possible alternator / battery damage on
twin-engine installations, insure the dual battery switches are never left so both engines
are connected together (never leave a switch on “BOTH” or “ALL”). The preferred
switch position is port engine to port battery, starboard to starboard. Models with a
generator installed will have an additional battery switch for the generator electrical
system.
