ENGINE EXHAUST
SYSTEM
The engine exhaust system vents engine exhaust
gases away from the boat. Inboard engines have
a muffler and may use water injection as part of
the exhaust system. Some stern drives have an
exhaust diverter valve that, when activated,
routes engine exhaust to thru-transom exhaust
pipes or down through the propeller hub. Use
thru-transom exhaust only when your boat is well
offshore. Never change or modify the standard
manufactured exhaust system. See the
Engine
Operator’s Manual
for engine exhaust system and
service information.
ENGINE LUBRICATION
SYSTEM
Depending on engine type, your boat may feature
one of several engine lubrication systems. Stern
drive engines, like automotive engines, use a
sump system where the engine oil is contained in
the engine. See the
Engine Operator’s Manual
for
engine oil recommendations and information.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Boats may be equipped with one or two types of
electrical systems: Direct Current (DC) and
Alternating Current (AC).
Most boats use a battery-powered direct current
(DC) system; some boats also use a generator or
shore-powered alternating current (AC) system.
Most systems have a main load panel which
serves as the main distribution panel.
DC System
Most boats use a 12-volt common negative
ground DC system. DC systems are usually the
primary electric supply for lights, pumps, blowers,
engine starting, etc.
Boats require at least one battery per engine.
Multiple-battery systems consist of a cranking
battery for each engine and additional batteries
that supply auxiliary power to DC electrical
circuits.
Battery switches control battery power
distribution and disconnect the batteries from the
boat’s electrical system. The engine’s charging
system charges batteries connected to the
charging system when the engines are running.
Battery isolators prevent accessory loads and
other batteries from depleting power from
charged batteries. Isolators also allow the
engine’s charging system to isolate the alternator
charging output and distribute the charge among
all batteries according to individual need.
The main DC control panel may feature a
voltmeter, battery test switch, fuses, circuit
breakers and a master breaker switch.
WARNING!
Never reset a breaker that has
been automatically tripped without first
identifying and correcting the cause of the
problem. A fire could result. See Safety
Precautions at the beginning of this section
for more details.
