Care and Maintenance
With this system you are required to manage the battery system, keeping both batteries
charged and never run the second battery dead. Sitting listening to an amplified stereo
system with the selector switch on “all” with lights on can drain both batteries. The best
feature of this switch is you can disconnect the electrical system of the boat and engine,
and the amperage draw for the computers and stereo memory during long and short term
storage will be minimal. To maintain optimum performance, make sure to manage the
batteries properly.
Figure 4-8. Battery Switch
Battery Isolator Switch
This option provides the ability to isolate the boat batteries if more than one battery is
used. If so equipped, the isolator switch is located behind the front observer’s seat under
the dash next to the battery. Under normal situations, the switch should be in “POSITION
1” or “POSITION 2” rather than in the “ALL” position. This will keep one battery
charged should one of the batteries fail.
Circuit Breakers and Fuses
Most electrical standard equipment devices are controlled with circuit breakers. These
breakers will activate if overloaded and cut power to the switch. To restore power, simply
push the breaker button in and release. Breakers do not require fuse replacement. The
breaker panel can be found under the dash next to the 12-V adapter. The stereo, if so
equipped, has an inline fuse. If your stereo should quit working, check fuse as well as the
breaker.
12-V DC Accessory Outlets
All models are equipped with two 12-V DC Accessory Outlets; one on the electrical
panel below the dash, and one in the port side cupholder panel. These outlets provide
power from your boat battery to accessory equipment such as cellular phones, video
cameras, marine spot lights, etc.
