CAUTION
1. The bilge pump may still draw power from the battery, even if the switches are set to
OFF, so that it can operate even if the boat is docked and unattended. In the worst case,
the boat may sink if left unattended for a long time without checking battery power be
particularly observant in periods of heavy rains and winds.
2. When leaving the boat for longer periods, always turn the main switches off to avoid
battery drain, especially in rainy periods. Failure to do so may hinder the bilge pump from
working, potentially causing the boat to sink in case of water leaks into the bilge. Never
leave the boat unattended for long periods, and check battery charge level regularily.

ATTERIES
&
CHARGING
In case of replacement, refer to your engine owner’s manual for exact battery
requirements. Batteries shall be of the same type.
The battery should always be installed and secured within the battery box, to prevent
them from shifting during voyage and potentially cause damages or even fires. Protective
terminal covers must always be used (covering the battery +/- connecting points) to
avoid short-cuts and sparks.
To remove the battery cables (for instance to replace batteries or bring them to a
charging station):
Turn off all items drawing power from the battery.
Turn the battery main switches to the LOCK OFF position.
Remove the negative cable first, then the positive cable.
When re-installing batteries, always install the positive cable first, then the
negative cable.

ATTERY SELECTOR SWITCH
Service and starting battery:
Your boat as standard is equipped with 2 main switches at the fuse panel. One is for the
staring battery, the other for a service battery (optional). When you turn the battery
switch to the ON position, power is provided to the engine and consumers.
When leaving the boat for longer periods and when doing maintenance on
equipment/parts connected to the electrical system, turn the switch to the LOCK OFF
position. See also the figure in chapter 5.4.
