Systems and Accessories
Electrical System
12 Volt Receptacle (Optional)
The 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 – On/Off (Optional)
The on/off switch allows you to shut off the battery/batteries to prevent draining the battery/batteries when the
boat is not in use. This prevents draining the battery/batteries in the event that a stereo, baitwell pump, etc. was
inadvertently left of.
Battery Switch for Dual Batteries (Optional)
The battery switch is installed near the aft bilge hatch, below the transom
seat. To access the switch, release the latches to open up the transom
seating area. Then, lift the cushion and slide it forward to remove. The
switch is located on the starboard side of the bilge hatch. The battery
switch is for battery isolation, parallel operation and disconnect.
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.
To test the operations of the battery switch, 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).
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.
Circuit Breakers
Circuit breakers and/or fuses protect the wiring. 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 accessible the hatch that is installed in the floor just aft of the helm seat and
cooler.
•
Breakers and/or fuses for the aft bilge, stereo and trim tabs 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.
If the breaker continues to trip and you are certain the device, switch and wiring are in good repair; either the
breaker is faulty or it is too small for the load. Reduce the load or replace the breaker.
