ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
4.1 General
Your Scout is equipped with 120-volt AC and 12-volt DC
electrical systems. The AC system can draw current from one
of two sources, either shore power outlets at dock side or the
optional generator. The DC system draws current from on
board batteries.
Your boat and engine charging system is designed for 12-volt,
lead acid wet cell marine batteries. They will require similar
maintenance as those found in automobiles.
All wires in the electrical systems are color coded to make
identifying circuits easier. Wiring schematics have been
included with this manual to aid in following an individual
circuit of the boat.
4.2 12-Volt System
The 12-volt system is a fairly standard system. There are (4)
batteries, one for the starboard engine, one for the port engine,
and two batteries in parallel for the house, windlass and 12-volt
accessories. The batteries are located in the systems room
below the bridge deck. They are controlled by (2) battery
switches, one for the engines and one for the house and acces-
sories. The batteries themselves can be charged by the engines
or by the battery charger when hooked to shore power.
All 12-volt power is distributed to the 12-volt accessories
through individual circuit breakers located in the 12-volt switch
and breaker panels. A main “Helm” circuit breaker, located
in the battery switch panel, protects the helm and cockpit 12-
volt circuits from an overload. Another main “Cabin” circuit
breaker protects the cabin 12-volt circuit. Other circuit breakers
in the battery switch panel protect the circuit for the windlass,
trim tabs, the automatic float switches for the bilge pumps,
shower sump pump and the stereo and electronics memory.
Most 12-volt accessories are operated directly by switches in
the helm accessory switch panel, accessory switch panels in
the cockpit and cabin or by the circuit breakers in the cabin
DC panel.
Main breakers or fuses located on each engine protect the
ignition systems and gauges. Yamaha engine electrical circuits
are protected by fuses located in a fuse panel on the side of
the engine. The fuse panel is equipped with a spare fuse for
each circuit. Always replace fuses used with the fuse specified
by Yamaha or your engine manufacturer. Refer to the engine
owner’s manual for more information on the fuses, fuse panels
or circuit breakers on your engines.
PROPER FUSE OR BREAKER PROTECTION MUST
BE PROVIDED FOR ALL 12-VOLT EQUIPMENT
ADDED. DO NOT OVERLOAD THE ACCESSORY
CIRCUIT BREAKERS OR OTHER CIRCUITRY
THROUGH ADDITIONAL 12-VOLT EQUIPMENT.
Batteries and Battery Switches
The DC electrical system on your boat is designed for wet cell,
marine batteries. Do not attempt to use gel cell, absorbed wet
mat or other non wet cell batteries. The engine charging sys-
tem and the battery charger are not designed to recharge these
batteries which could cause unusually short battery life, engine
