they control:

The holding tank overboard discharge macerator switch panel

is located in the head compartment next to the holding tank

the shore power inlet plug that controls the electric actuator

for the engine hatch. Move the switch up to raise the hatch

and move the switch down to lower the hatch. The switch

will automatically move to the center or off position and

the hatch will stop when the switch is released. Refer to the

Exterior Equipment chapter for additional information on the

engine hatch lifter. Note that the Starboard Engine battery

switch, Electric Hatch switch in the helm and the Electric

Hatch breaker in the cabin DC panel must be turned on for

the hatch lifter to operate.

Cabin DC Accessory Breaker Panels

Power is distributed to most of the 12-volt accessories through

individual circuit breakers located in the cabin DC breaker

panels. There are two DC breaker panels, one in the battery

switch panel and the main DC breaker panel. The breaker

panels are located near the companionway door. Some 12-

volt accessories are operated directly by the circuit breaker

in the panels while others are operated by switches fed by the

panel breakers.
