7.3 System Components and Operation

The largest part of your controls are on the 12 Volt DC
Panel, we will run down the systems and components as
they are listed on the Panel. From there, we will look at
the helm controls.

7.3.1 DC Main

In order to energize the DC system aboard your boat, you
must turn the breaker marked “DC Main”, on the battery
switch panel, to the “ON” position. This supplies power to
the remaining breakers and systems on the DC Panel.

1. Switch the main battery switch under chart table to
ON.

2. Switch the DC main circuit breaker at battery switch
panel to ON.

Note: Always switch circuit breakers off when you leave your
boat unattended.

7.3.2 Lighting Systems

There are basically three different lighting systems
aboard your boat. These are the interior (Cabin) and
exterior lighting, and navigational lighting.

The navigational lighting, closely follows Coast Guard
regulations. They are as follows:

Nav Lights
Steaming Light
Mast Light
Deck Light

The red and green lights on the bow rail and the white
facing light on the transom are known as “Nav Lights”.

These lights should always be on when motoring.

The “steaming” light is the forward facing light mounted at
the top of mast. This should be on when underway with
sail power only.
