6.5.5 24 Hour Circuits
The fuse holders located at the batteries protect the 24 hour essential circuit wiring. Per NMMA and USCG
guidelines, these fuses are constantly energized to provide power for bilge pumps and memory functions.
This helps to protect your vessel even when you are not available. The battery switch does not need to be
“ON” for these fuses to have power. Inspect the fuses regularly. If a fuse blows constantly, have your dealer
investigate the problem as soon as possible to prevent damage to your boat.
6.6 Battery Selection
World Cat supplies the original batteries onboard your vessel. We use both Group 27 and Group 31 batteries.
In the event of a failure, replacements must be of equal size and specifications (see below):
GROUP 27 (27MG) GROUP 31 (GDP31DT)
CCA: 840 CCA: 700
MCA: 1050 MCA: 875
RESERVE CAPACITY: 182 min @ 20A RESERVE CAPACITY: 182 min @ 25A
6.5.3 Emergency Parallel
In the event of a battery failure, the “EMERG PARALLEL” switch allows you to mechanically link the port
“cranking” battery to the starboard engine or vice versa. The switch should remain in the “OFF” position
when not in use. To prevent voltage spikes or drops which can damage electrical components, you cannot
draw power from the house battery using the “EMERG PARALLEL” switch.
6.5.4 Voltage Sensor Relay (VSR)
The twin voltage relay sensors are integrated into the battery switch cluster. They distribute the charging
output from the engine alternator to the “cranking” and “house” batteries. After starting an engine, the alter-
nator sends electricity back to the “cranking” battery to recharge it. Once the “cranking battery” is fully
charged (13.6 volts), the VSR closes to allow the alternator output to charge the “house” battery. When the
VSR is operating, the LED indicator located on the management panel will be lit. It will remain lit until the
battery is fully charged, or the “cranking” battery voltage falls below 12.8 volts. It is common for the VSR to
cycle “ON” and “OFF” during operation. However, constant cycling could indicate a problem in the system
and should be checked by your dealer.
6.5.6 Anchor Windlass
A 50 Amp breaker is installed at the factory for the anchor windlass. For Windlass Deck Switch Maintenance
refer to section 7.11 for details provided by Lewmar.
6.6.1 Battery Care
Batteries should be secured in a non-metallic tray and insulated boots should cover the terminals. Depending
on the style of battery you choose, inspect the electrolyte and perform routine maintenance as suggested by
the manufacturer. Remove corrosion from the terminals quickly to prevent failure. Use a stiff brush and a so-
lution of water and baking soda to remove corrosion, then grease the terminals to prevent further build-up.
Be careful to clean up thoroughly to avoid contaminating the electrolyte.
When servicing the batteries, follow the safety procedures shown below and work to avoid electrolyte spills
which can harm you and your vessel.
