Electrical System
In the event of dead house batteries, there are a
couple options.
• If at the dock, simply plug in the shore power
and operate the battery charger to recharge
the house batteries.
• If at sea, start one or both engines. Once
an engine is running, the alternator acces-
sory circuit will charge the house batteries.
If your boat is equipped with twin engines,
operating both engines will recharge the house
batteries much quicker. The house batteries
will continue to be charged until the engine
or engines are shutdown, isolating the house
batteries from the engine batteries.
Notice:
If a battery is fully discharged/dead for a
lengthy period it may become permanently
damaged and will not be able to hold a
charge.
