Battery Switches
•
Each battery switch has four (4) positions.
•
The normal settings are:
Engine battery switch - position “2”.
House battery switch - position “1”.
•
Some "Standby Loads", such as the CO monitor, the auto-
matic bilge pumps, and the stereo memory, are not
affected by the battery switch since they are wired directly
to the battery (see the Wiring Diagrams in this Supplement
for more details).
•
If your boat is equipped with a bow thruster see the Bow
Thruster section of this Supplement for information about
the bow thruster battery switch.
