Electrical System

Arch Lights

Provides protection and electrical current to the
switch that activates the lights in the arch that
illuminate the cockpit.

Docking Lights

Provides protection and electrical current to the
switch that activates the docking lights.

Head System (264FS/264FS/264FSX)

Provides protection and electrical current directly
to the vacuum pump on the electric head system.
A vacuum switch on the pump automatically con-
trols the pump and maintains proper vacuum in
the system.

Macerator (264FS/264FSC/264FSX)

Provides protection and electrical current to the
holding tank monitor and the optional macerator
pump switch in the head compartment.

Trim Tabs

Provides protection and electrical current to the
switches that control the optional trim tabs.

Engine Hatch

Reserved for additional 12 volt equipment.

Bilge

Provides protection and electrical current to the
switch that manually activates the aft bilge pump

12V
(264FS/264FSC/264FSX

Supplies 12-volt electrical current to the carbon
monoxide detector in the cabin of the 264FSC.

This is a “push to reset” breaker that is normally
on, unless tripped by an overload, when the bat-
tery switch is activated.

The power indicator on the carbon monoxide
detector should be lit whenever someone is oc-
cupying the cabin. If the breaker has tripped, it
indicates that there is a problem with the carbon
monoxide detector, the breaker, or the wiring
from the breaker panel to the detector. Always
determine the cause of the problem and correct
it before resetting the breaker.

This circuit breaker is reserved for additional 12
volt equipment on 264FS and 264FSX models.

Electronics

Provides protection and electrical current directly
to the electronics in the helm

Typical Windlass Circuit Breaker

Acc #1

Reserved for additional 12 volt equipment.

Acc #2

Reserved for additional 12 volt equipment.

6.6 Additional Circuit Breakers & Fuses

Engine Main Breakers

The primary circuits for the engine are protected
by heavy duty, “push to reset” breakers on each
engine. They are supplied power whenever the
engine battery switches are on. Refer to the en-
gine owner’s manual for information on the loca-
tion and operation of the engine circuit breakers.

Windlass Circuit Breaker
(264FS/264FSC/264FSX)

A heavy duty circuit breaker provides protection
and power for windlass relay. This breaker is sup-
plied current when the battery selector switch is
activated.  If the circuit breaker is tripped by an
overload, a red lever will be exposed near the cen-
ter of the breaker.   Reset the breaker by raising
the lever until it locks in the horizontal position.

This circuit breaker is located behind the cooler
compartment in the starboard rear side of the
cockpit. A small access plate in the compart-
ment can be removed to provide quick access to
inspect or reset the breaker or replace other fuses
for the Mercury trim/tilt or clean power systems
that could be located near the windlass breaker.
