Electrical System
12 Volt Receptacle
The 12-volt receptacle is installed on the console. It is easily accessible and can be used to charge your
cell phone, operate a hand held remote spotlight, etc.
Battery Switch for Dual Batteries (Optional)
The optional battery switch on the 25 Sport is installed behind the hatch located
just below the transom door. The battery switch is for battery isolation, parallel
operation and disconnect.
If you have selected the twin-engine application, a dual battery switch for each
engine is included as standard equipment.
Caution:
To avoid possible alternator/battery damage on twin-engine installations, make
sure that the dual battery switches are never left so both engines are connected together,
(i.e., never leave a switch on “BOTH” or “ALL”). The preferred switch position is port
engine to position one (1) on the port battery switch and starboard engine to position two
(2) on the starboard battery switch.
•
Place all the switches in the off position.
•
Turn both ignition keys on and ensure that the engines will not turn over.
•
Turn the port battery switch to the one (1) position on the switch and turn the port ignition
key to start the port engine.
•
Turn off the port engine ignition key and the port battery switch.
•
Turn the starboard battery switch to the two (2) position on the switch and turn the
starboard ignition key to start the starboard engine.
•
Never switch battery positions while the engines are running
To ensure that the battery switch will turn off, place the switch in the off position and try to start up the
engine(s). When the switch is off, you should not be able to start the engine(s).
Circuit Breakers
Circuit breakers and/or fuses protect the wiring on your 25 Sport. In the event a device stops working,
check to see if the circuit breaker is tripped or if the fuse is blown. Breakers are installed in the following
locations:
•
The main helm breaker is located in the bilge area.
•
Additional breakers and/or fuses for the aft bilge, stereo and trim tabs are located next to
the main helm breaker.
•
Additional breaker switches are also located on the switch panel below the individual
switches.
A tripped breaker will protrude or move 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 or by
returning a breaker switch to the on position. 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.
