6.4 12 volt Accessory Switch Panels
The main accessory switch panel is located at the
helm. Most “push to reset” circuit breakers that
protect the accessories activated by the switches
are located in the panel below the switches. An
LED light built into the rocker switches indicates
that the circuit is activated.
If a breaker trips, the reset button pops out and
can be felt through the protective cover. Press
the button to reset the tripped breaker. If the
breaker trips again, nd and correct the problem
before resetting the breaker.
The following is a description of the acces-
sories controlled by the helm accessory
switches:

Navigation Lights
The switch is a three-position switch. The middle
position is OFF. Moving the switch in one direc-
tion will activate the navigation lights. Moving
the switch in the opposite direction activates the
anchor light.
Bilge Pump
Manually activates the aft bilge pump located in
the stern bilge near the transom. The pump moves
water out a thru-hull tting in the hull. The pump
is also activated by an automatic switch that is
activated whenever the batteries are connected.
This pump will run as needed whenever the water
in the bilge accumulates high enough to cause the
switch to activate and turn o when the water is
removed.
Notice:
Bilge pumps will start automatically when

ies and is always supplied current when the
batteries are connected.
