DC Electrical System
The DC electrical system is a 12VDC system and is composed of the following components:
• Batteries
• Battery Charging System
• Circuit Breakers
• Battery Distribution Panel
The batteries are normally charged through an engine-driven alternator or via shore power through a
battery charger. A volt meter on the helm shows the charge level of each engine start battery. The
DC Salon Panel reads the House Battery Voltage with a meter.
There are three batteries in the boat:
• Port
• Starboard
• Generator / House
The Generator battery is also known as the
House
battery, which supplies power to several DC systems
of the boat.
Explosive hydrogen gas is given off by charging batteries.
Batteries will explode if an open flame or spark ignites the
hydrogen gas.
Never use an open flame in the battery area. Do not strike
sparks near the batteries.
Working on engine starting circuits or alternators with
battery cables connected can cause severe injury or death.
Battery cables should be disconnected from the batteries
before working on the engine starting circuits or the
alternator.
If any circuit breaker should trip, do not activate the system
until the cause of the malfunction has been determined and
corrected.
