Dead House Battery
In the event of a dead house battery, there are a

• If at the dock and the boat is equipped with
the optional battery charger, simply plug in the
shore power and operate the battery charger
to recharge the house battery.
• If at sea, start one or both engines. Once an
engine is running, the alternator accessory
circuit will charge the house battery. Operat-
ing both engines will recharge the house bat-
tery much quicker. The battery will continue
to be charged until the engine or engines are
shutdown, isolating the house battery 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.
