10.1.1 Battery Layout and Management
The 320CC has four batteries located in the aft battery compartments in the rear of the boat. They can be reached
using the access hatch located on the aft vertical wall of the cockpit transom. A cranking battery along with a house
battery is installed on each side. Wire leads run through the hull harness to the motorized battery switches located
inside the battery compartment. The engine cranking leads run aft, through a hull rigging tube, from the engine to the
motorized switch mounted on the bulkhead in each aft rigging compartment. The negative engine leads are connected
to the common battery ground using a negative buss also located in the aft rigging compartment. The motorized
switches are turned on by turning the port & starboard key switches to the “ON” position. These key switches are
located on the battery management panel inside the console. In the event that the keyed switches inside the console
fail to operate the motorized switches the motorized switches can then be manually turned on by pushing in on the
knob and turning them clockwise to the manual “ON” position.
The house batteries provide the power for a majority of your DC accessories. The main battery lead runs to the
“HOUSE” switch on the battery management panel. From there current is routed to the dash and circuit breaker
through the 80 amp “DC Main” breaker located in the center of the battery management panel. During normal
operation this breaker can remain in the “ON” position, and the “HOUSE” switch can be used to control the flow of
current. The main ground for all DC accessories is tied into the common ground on all batteries. For a detailed
drawing of the battery management panel connections, see the diagram on page 13 of this chapter.
10.1.2 Additional Motorized Emergency Parallel/VSR
As an additional feature, the 320CC management panel contains two “ MOTORIZED EMERG PARALLEL/VSR”
switches. These switches automatically link the starboard “CRANKING” battery to the starboard “HOUSE” battery
and the port “CRANKING” battery to the port “HOUSE” battery when cranking voltage is 13.6 or higher.
Furthermore, when both “MOTORIZED EMERG PARALLEL/VSR” switches are engaged they will connect all four
batteries into a single bank. These switches are automatic and will engage whenever the cranking battery is at 13.6
volts or higher. In the event of a malfunction or if needed to parallel the “HOUSE” and “CRANKING” battery the
switch can be manually activated by pushing in the knob and turning it clockwise to the manual “ON” position. The
switches should remain in the automatic “ON” position during normal use. To prevent voltage spikes or drops which
can damage electrical components, you should trip the DC Mains 1 breaker prior to cranking engines with the house
battery in parallel. Once you are running, the breaker can be reset to allow the full alternator output to power the
electronics. This is a safety feature and should not be used in-lieu of the VSR’s to charge batteries while underway.
Doing so, could result in premature battery failure and increases the risk of electrical failure while at sea.
10.1.3 Bilge Pumps / Float Switches
Your 320CC is equipped with two 1500 GPH bilge pumps located aft and two 500GPH pumps near the helm. Each
pump is connected to a float switch which automatically triggers the pump when water comes to rest in the bilge. The
float switches are connected to the battery management panel through the hull harness and receive power from the
breakers on the right side of the panel. These breakers are constantly energized and ensure the safety of your boat
even when the battery switches are in the “off” position. The pumps can be manually engaged using the switch at the
dash.
The aft bilge pumps are located behind the aft rigging compartment and can accessed through the inspection plates in
the motorwell, forward of the engines. The wiring for these pumps is secured to the centerline stringer which is
visible from the hatch. Inspect the operation of your bilge pumps and their connections at least annually. To do so,
