10.1 Operation of Standard Equipment
10.1.1 Battery Layout and Management
Your 280DC-X is equipped with three batteries, which are located in the aft starboard bilge area. A cranking
battery is installed on each side, and a dedicated house battery is installed in the center. Wire leads run
through the hull harness to the battery management panel which is below the helm seat. See section 6.5
thru 6.6.4 for information regarding the operation of this panel. The engine cranking leads run aft, through a
hull rigging tube, from the management panel to a positive stud 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 house battery provides 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 in section
10.4.1 of this chapter.
10.1.2 Additional Emergency Parallel
As an additional feature, the 280DC-X management panel contains a secondary “EMERG PARALLEL”
switch. It allows you to mechanically link the starboard “cranking” battery to the house battery. Furthermore,
engaging both “EMERG PARALLEL” switches will connect all three batteries into a single bank. The switches
should remain in the “OFF” position when not in 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 280DC-X is equipped with two 1500 GPH bilge pumps located aft and two 500 GPH bilge pumps
located forward. 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 forward bilge pumps are accessible under the port side sink and under inspector plate in the starboard
helm storage area.
Inspect the operation and condition of your bilge pumps regularly. Activate the pump by lifting the float
switch. Once the float switch is released the pump should shut off. It is important to keep the bilge area clean
and free of debris, which may prevent proper operation of the float switch, and cause damage to the pump.
