Electrical System
12 Volt Receptacle (Optional)
The optional 12-volt receptacle is installed on the console. It is easily accessible and can be used to
charge your cell phone, operate a hand held remote spotlight, etc.
Battery Switch for Dual Batteries (Optional)
The optional battery switch on the 21 Sport is located below the hatch that is installed on the starboard aft
jump seat. The battery switch is for battery isolation, parallel operation and disconnect.
Caution:
To avoid possible alternator/battery damage on twin-engine installations, make
sure that the dual battery switches are never left so both engines are connected together,
(i.e., never leave a switch on “BOTH” or “ALL”). The preferred switch position is port
engine to position one (1) on the port battery switch and starboard engine to position two
(2) on the starboard battery switch.
•
Place all the switches in the off position.
•
Turn both ignition keys on and ensure that the engines
will not turn over.
•
Turn the port battery switch to the one (1) position on
the switch and turn the port ignition key to start the port
engine.
•
Turn off the port engine ignition key and the port battery
switch.
•
Turn the starboard battery switch to the two (2) position
on the switch and turn the starboard ignition key to start
the starboard engine.
•
Never switch battery positions while the engines are
running
To ensure that the battery switch will turn off, place the switch in the off position and try to start up the
engine(s). When the switch is off, you should not be able to start the engine(s).
Circuit Breakers
Circuit breakers and/or fuses protect the wiring on your 21 Sport. In the event a device stops working,
check to see if the circuit breaker is tripped or if the fuse is blown. Breakers are installed in the following
locations:
•
The main breaker is located on the transom below the hatch that is installed on the
starboard aft jump seat.
•
Breakers and/or fuses for the aft bilge, stereo and accessory are located above the main
breaker.
•
Additional breaker switches are also located on the switch panel below the individual
switches.
A tripped breaker will protrude or move from its set position indicating that the circuit has been
overloaded. Turn off the device(s) on the circuit, then reset the breaker by pushing in once or by
returning a breaker switch to the on position. If the breaker does not reset or if it resets and then trips
again after the device is turned back on, then a short circuit exists or your device may be damaged,
overloaded, or faulty. Correct the problem and then reset the breaker.
