Additional DC switches and breakers are located on the console. There is also a DC terminal buss panel
located behind the helm. To access this panel, remove the two (2) stainless steel bolts that are installed
on the forward side of the helm and tilt the helm aft towards the helm seat. The 12-volt direct current
provides electrical power for all lighting, pumps, electronics and DC devices.
The DC volt gauge indicates the maximum number of volts that are available at the DC panel. We
recommend that you keep an eye on the volt gauge to make sure that you have enough DC volts
available to continue operating the DC equipment that you are currently using. Pulling more than the
maximum available volts (12 volts) will cause breakers to trip and will turn off your DC accessories.
Battery Charger (20 AMP)
The battery charger is installed in the bilge on the aft side of the forward bulkhead. It is designed to
recharge your batteries and extend the life of your batteries in applications where the batteries may be
stored for long periods of time.
For operational procedures and information related to the care and maintenance of the battery charger,
please refer to the owner’s manual provided by the manufacturer of the battery charger. When in doubt,
always defer to the battery charger manufacturer’s instructions and/or recommendations.
Battery Switch for Dual Batteries
The battery switches are installed behind the hatch
located below the transom sink at the port aft corner of
the cockpit. They are for battery isolation, parallel
operation and disconnect. The breakers are installed at
the top of the battery switch panel and are labeled:
Helm Main, DC Main, Bilge 1, Bilge 2, Fwd. Bilge, Trim
Tabs, Fish Box and Stereo Memory.
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 both battery switches will turn off, place both switches in the off position and try to start up
the engines. When both switches are off, you should not be able to start either engine.
If the breaker continues to trip and you are certain the device, switch and wiring are in good repair; either
the breaker is faulty or it is too small for the load. Reduce the load or replace the breaker.
