Fuses & Circuit Breakers
•
Circuit breakers for engines and main accessory power are on the 12-volt DC push-to-reset circuit breaker panel
and on the battery switch panel.
•
For the locations of the battery switch panel and the 12-volt DC push-to-reset circuit breakers, see the Component
Locations section of Chapter 2 in this supplement.
NOTE: Some equipment may have secondary fuse protection at the unit, behind the battery switch panel, or at
the batteries.
12-Volt DC Accessory Outlets
•
The outlets can be used with any 12-volt device which draws 10-amps or less.
•
Each 12-volt DC accessory outlet is protected by a 10-amp breaker on the 12-volt DC push-to-reset circuit
breaker panel.
Alternator
The alternator will keep the battery properly charged when the engine is running at, or above, cruising speeds.
Battery Charger (If Equipped)
•
Before using the battery charger, read all instructions and warnings: (1) on the battery charger, (2) on the batteries,
and (3) in the battery charger manual.
•
The battery charger will automatically charge your boat’s batteries when 110-volt AC power is being provided by
shore power, and the battery charger circuit breaker on the 110-volt AC master panel is On.
•
The battery switch can be in any position during charging.
•
During battery charging you may use 12-volt accessories, such as the lights and stereo, but battery charging will
take longer.
Do NOT use the 12-volt DC accessory outlet with a cigarette or cigar lighter. High tempera-
tures may melt the outlet.
