ELECTRICAL PANEL
The left side of the electrical panel contains the switches for the AC 110 volt accessories.
The right side of panel contains the switches for all 12-volt circuits such as instruments and
accessories. When connected to shore power both the 110-volt/AC and 12-volt/DC are
operable. When not connected to shore power only the 12-volt systems are operable. We do
not have an inverter aboard this vessel.
To the left of each 12V switch is a light that indicates if the switch is turned on and a push
button circuit breaker. If the switch is in the “on” position but the device does not work,
push the button to reset the breaker.
The Espar Diesel Heater does not have it’s own switch on the electrical panel. Due to the
nature of it’s cool down cycle the on/off switch is located on the wall to the left near the
VHF radio. There is also a push button circuit breaker for this heater located at the battery
terminal under the aft settee bench.
Below the 12-volt switch panel there is a 12-volt ‘cigarette-lighter’ type plug that may be
used for various 12-volt accessories or chargers for items such as laptop computers, etc.
More information about specific switches is contained in the pages to follow.
