Chapter 8: Freedom 325
Outlets
Current is provided to the outlets by the generator or shore power. The outlets are ground fault
protected and will operate any standard household appliance (i.e. blender, coffee maker). However,
the total combined amperage, in addition to other AC accessories, must not overload the boat’s
generator output. The outlets are located in the port and starboard consoles and on the port helm
seat base.
Power Assist Hydraulic Steering
The engine ignition switches must be on for this system to function. The power assist hydraulic
pump is activated by turning the steering wheel. The hydraulic pump senses the motion of the
hydraulic fluid from the helm and pumps fluid in the cylinders at the engine accordingly. The power
assist pump is installed in the aft rigging area and can be accessed through the aft tackle storage
unit. Over-current protection is provided by a 50A fuse located on the positive terminal of battery
bank #2. This system is compatible with multiple steering stations and the use of an autopilot. Refer
to the power assist owner’s manual in your Owner’s Packet for more information.
On boats with Helm Master™, the steering is integrated into the engine controls and power
assist steering is not available. To reach the Helm Master™ components, open the aft tackle storage
unit, pull the pins in the top corners, and remove the back wall.
Raw Water Washdown
To operate the raw water washdown, open the seacock located in the aft bilge using the remote
seacock arm labeled washdown. Place the raw water switch on the helm switch panel in the “on”
position. This system will now be pressurized at the raw water outlet. A hose with a spray nozzle
attached may be used intermittently without turning the switch off in the same fashion as a garden
hose with a nozzle. The raw water pump has an internal pressurization switch that will maintain
water pressure as needed until the switch is turned off at the switch panel. The raw water pump is
mounted on the starboard side of the aft rigging compartment.
Refrigerator (optional)
The refrigerator switch on the DC panel and the thermostat knob inside the refrigerator must be
on for the refrigerator/freezer to operate. The manually operated thermostat is located inside on
the right upper rear wall. The thermostat is turned clockwise to reduce the temperature and
counterclockwise to increase the temperature. To turn off the refrigerator, turn the switch on the DC
panel off, or rotate the thermostat counterclockwise until it reaches “0” position. Note that there
will be resistance at the “1” position and the knob will need to be pushed in while turning to “0”.
