Note: All AC electrical outlets are provided with ground
fault interrupts to protect against electric shock.
These outlets should be tested periodically to en-
sure proper operation by pressing the test/reset
buttons in the center of faceplate. GFI outlets do
not protect against short circuits and overloads.
This is done by the outlet breaker in the AC
panel.
GFI OUTLETS DO NOT PROVIDE 100% PROTECTION
FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK. EVEN THOUGH GROUND
FAULT INTERRUPTERS PROVIDE PROTECTION
BY REDUCING EXPOSURE TIME FROM LINE TO
GROUND SHOCK HAZARDS, IT IS STILL POSSIBLE
TO RECEIVE AN ELECTRIC SHOCK FROM
DEFECTIVE APPLIANCES OR POWER TOOLS AND
MISUSED ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.
Battery Charger
Supplies electrical current directly to the automatic battery
charger. The battery charger charges and maintains the 12-volt
batteries simultaneously when activated. It is fully automatic.
See the battery charger manual for more information.
The charge to the batteries can be monitored by using the volt
meters in the engine gauge cluster, the volt meter in the cabin
breaker panel and LED lights on the charger. To monitor the
engine batteries using the volt meters in the gauge cluster,
activate the charger and turn the engine battery switch on. Turn
the ignition key switch for each engine to the “ON” position
(DO NOT START THE ENGINES) and read the voltage on
the volt meter for each engine. To monitor the house battery
bank, activate the charger and turn the house battery switch
on. Read the volt meter in the cabin DC breaker panel. If the
batteries are in good condition and charging properly, the volt
meters will indicate between 12 and 14.5 volts. If the reading
is below 12 volts, then the battery is not accepting a charge or
the charger is not working properly. Always turn the ignition
switches off immediately after the monitoring is complete.
Refer to the battery charger manual for more information.
The wires that supply DC charging current to the batteries
are protected by an internal fuse in the battery charger and
external fuses, one for each battery output wire, located near
each battery. The external fuses protect the DC charging
circuit from the batteries to the charger. The internal fuses in
the charger protect the DC charging circuit from the charger
to the batteries.
Water Heater
Supplies electrical current directly to the hot water heater
circuit. A thermostat in the water heater control panel
automatically controls the water temperature. Before
operation, you must have water in the water heater. (See the
water heater manual for details)
Air Conditioner (Optional)
Supplies electrical current to the air conditioner control panel
located in the cabin and the air conditioner raw water pump.
Note: After a certain amount of time without water flow,
the air conditioning unit will automatically power
down. If this occurs, reset the unit and check for
water flow out of the air conditioning thru-hull.
See air conditioner owner’s manual for more in-
formation.
Flat Top Stove
Supplies electrical current directly to the stove in the galley.
4.4 Generator (Optional)
The generator is activated by the house batteries and the
control panel near the cabin AC panel. The oil and coolant
in the generator should be checked regularly or whenever you
check the oil in the main engines. (4-stroke engines)
The generator panel controls the starting, running, and
stopping of the generator. Lights in the panel monitor engine
temperature, exhaust temperature, and oil pressure. An
owner’s manual for the generator has been supplied with
this manual. Please refer to it for details on the generator
operation.
The generator engine uses a closed cooling system with a
seawater-cooled heat exchanger. There is an expansion tank
for the engine coolant mounted in the bilge near the generator.
Make sure the fluid level in the expansion tank is kept between
the maximum and minimum lines of the tank. You should also
check the exhaust port for water flow each time the generator
is started. If there is no discharge within thirty seconds, shut
down the generator, then find and correct the problem.
