At the bottom of the distribution panel and to the left of the windlass breaker are the
breakers for the forward table, power steering, electronics, helm panel, stereo amp (if
applicable) and aft hatch. All these components run off the house battery (s). If popped
these breakers will show red in the window below the “OFF” label on the left side of the
switch. To reset push in the right side of the switch, “ON”, so that it is flush with the
panel.
The bottom right breaker, “ACC”, is a 50-amp breaker left open for adding an
appropriate 50-amp accessory.
It is important that all breakers match the amperage requirements of their associated
components. The back of the breakers are labeled with their amperages and can be
viewed by looking at the back of the panel as accessed through the battery access door
on the front of the leaning post.
Battery Access
All the batteries can be accessed by opening the door below the helm seat. Your boat
will have a house battery (or two) that operates the general electrical features of the boat
and a battery for each engine. Each battery should be able to be identified by the labels
on the wires that lead to it. When replacing batteries, it is critical the wires be secured to
the proper terminals precisely as they were on the previous battery(s).
