OLT

Three 12-volt outlets are installed on your Express 370. One is in the cabin dinette area.

Another is on the center helm station beneath the electronic controls facing aft. The third is in the
port deckwing on the vertical surface in front of the cup holder. These outlets provide easily
accessible power supplies for accessories such as cellular phones and spotlights. See

“12 Volt DC

Accessory Locations” on page 8–40

for a layout of all 12 volt DC accessories.

ONDITIONER

The air conditioning system, for both the cabin and the helm, operates on AC current only;

therefore, the generator or shore power must be in use with load group 2 energized. The air
conditioner switch on the AC/DC panel activates the cabin air unit’s control pad located in the
dinette area. The helm air conditioner switch on the AC/DC panel activates the helm air unit’s
control pad located in the galley area near the cabin door. The air/cooler pump switch must also be
on and the air condition seacock must be open to supply these units with raw water. The
thermostatic control is similar to household units. Supply vents for the cabin air are located in the
galley, the dinette, the forward V-berth, the aft berth, and the head. Supply vents for the helm air
are located in the port deckwing insert and beneath the port bench seat on the inboard side. The
return vent for the cabin air is located in the dinette area while the helm air return vent is located
beneath the port bench seat on the forward side. The cabin air conditioning unit is located beneath
the forward dinette seat and the helm air unit is located beneath the port bench seat. The
condensation drain for these units drains to the shower sump. Therefore, the shower sump pump
should be switched on when using either air conditioner to remove any condensation. Refer to the
Operation and Maintenance manual in your Owner’s Packet for specific instructions on using
these units. See

“Air Conditioning Layout” on page 8–26

and

“Helm Air Conditioning Layout”

on page 8–27

for system layouts. See

“120V Air Cond. & Cockpit Coolers Diagram” on page 8–

for a wiring diagram.

These outlets cannot be used with a cigarette lighter.

N O T I C E

If your boat is removed from the water, leaving the seacock open will drain the water in the air
conditioning system. This may cause an airlock in the air conditioner water pump in subsequent
operation. To prevent this drainage, close the air conditioner seacock. If the boat is being
winterized, leave the seacock open so the water can drain. Then, remove any remaining water by
blowing pressurized air through the system. See the Operation and Maintenance Manual included
in your Owner’s Packet for additional winterizing information.

C A U T I O N

To avoid restriction due to debris in the raw water intake strainer, turn off the air conditioner and
close the intake seacock while docking or operating in shallow water.
