the charging system output from the engines is

minimal. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for

additional information on the battery requirements

for your engines.

There are three remotely activated battery switch-

es and one remotely activated emergency parallel

switch located in the systems compartment. The

remote battery switches and emergency parallel

switch are activated by special switches in the

helm switch panel. Each battery switch has a

manual override that can activate (enable) or de-

activate (disable) the switch if the remote switch

or relay fails. The manual override is a yellow

knob on each battery switch that can be pressed

to manually activate the switch or rotated to reac-

tivate remote activation of the switch or to lockout

the switch in the OFF position when servicing the

electrical system. The normal operating position

for each switch is the “Enabled” Position. Refer

to the instructions printed on each switch and/or

the battery switch operating manual for additional

information on the remotely activated switches.

capacity recommended by the manufacturer of

your engines. These specications should be con-

sidered to be the minimum size battery required.

Consider increasing the capacity of the batteries if

you will be trolling, drift shing or have extensive

electronics on board. Larger batteries will give

you additional capacity to operate the baitwell,
