5.8 Electrical system
The wiring diagrams of the boat are shown in a special appendix.
Location and operation of the main circuit breaker:
− On the right-hand side of the steering position
− ”OFF”: Both batteries are off.
− ”1”: Battery 1 being used as service battery, charger recharging
both batteries.
− ”2”: Battery 2 being used as service battery, charger recharging
both batteries.
The locations of the instruments and switches for the electrical
equipment are shown in Fig. 6. The circuit fuses are located next
to the appropriate switch and the fuse sizes are indicated in Fig. 6.
The Finnboat ce model features resetting fuses that can be recon-
nected after being blown by flipping up the tipping switch.
If you leave the boat for a longer time, switch off the current from
the main circuit breaker.
When removing or re-installing batteries, take care not to touch the
poles of the battery with any metal object simultaneously or the
pole and the metal hull of the boat.
Use only the charger installed in the boat or a device of equal
capacity to recharge the batteries. Excessive recharging current
causes a risk of explosion.
When connecting the system to shore power, first connect the boat
outlet and then the jetty outlet.
WARNING! Never touch any part of a live AC system.
WARNING! When the boat is connected to shore power, never
swim near the boat. A defective cable may cause an
electric shock.
CAUTION! Never switch off the current from the main circuit
breaker while the engine is running.
CAUTION! Do not use the metal hull of the boat as an electrical
conductor.
5.9 Handling characteristics
5.9.1 Driving at high speeds
Do not use the boat if the engine output exceeds the maximum
power indicated on the builder’s plate.
A few basic rules for adjusting the power trim:
− Use the ”bow down” position when making the boat plane.
− When the boat is planning and if the swell is low, lift the bow
until the boat starts to porpoise or the propeller loses its grip.
Then lower the bow slightly until the boat stabilises. Optimise the
power trim by means of the log.
− In head sea, lower the bow for a smoother ride. In following sea,
lift the bow to prevent it from nose-diving.
See the engine manual as well.
Normally, an outboard engine is installed in the lowest position on
the transom.
WARNING! At high speeds, adjust the power trim with great care
– it alters the behaviour of the boat radically. Do not
