Electrical System
Baitwell Pump
Activates the centrifugal pump that supplies water
to the baitwell and the baitwell light.
Fresh Water
Activates the fresh water pump that supplies the
optional fresh water washdown in the cockpit. The
pump is the pressure demand type. The pressure
switch automatically controls the water pump
when the system is activated and properly primed.
Raw Water
Activates the raw water pump that supplies raw
water (seawater) to the raw water washdown hose
connection in the cockpit. The pump is the pres-
sure demand type. The pressure switch automati-
cally controls the water pump when the system is
activated and properly primed.
Power Ports
Activates the power ports located below the port
and starboard gunnels in the cockpit.
Acc
Reserved for additional 12-volt equipment.
12-Volt Receptacles
Provides electrical current for portable 12-volt
equipment. There are three 12-volt receptacles,
two in the helm switch panel and one in the con-
sole storage compartment.
MP3 Connection (Optional)
Located in the console storage compartment.
Provides an input for MP3 players to connect to
the boat stereo system.
Additional DC Switch Panels
Trim Tab Switch
Located in the helm. This switch panel controls
the trim tab planes located on the transom of the
boat. It is protected by a circuit breaker located
near the switch. Please refer to the Helm Control
Systems chapter for detailed information on the
operation of the trim tab controls.
Engine Trim and Tilt Switch
This switch is typically installed in the engine con-
trol handle. It controls the trimming and tilting
of the engine. Please refer to the Helm Control
Systems chapter and the engine owner’s manual
for information regarding the proper use of the
tilt and trim switch.
MP3 Connection and 12 Volt Receptacle
in Console Storage Compartment
6.5 Bonding System
Your boat is equipped with a bonding system that
interconnects the underwater metal hardware to
the engine to ensure that they are of the same
electrical potential. Sacricial anodes of the size
and type recommended by the engine manufac-
turer are attached to the outboard motor.
Anodes deteriorate before the other metals,
thereby protecting the underwater metals from
galvanic corrosion or stray electrical current.
Since the anodes are sacricial, it is important to
monitor them and replace them when they have
deteriorated to 50 - 75% of their original size.
6.6 Electrical System Maintenance
DC Electrical System Maintenance
At least once a year, spray all exposed electrical
components behind the helm, in the transom area
and in the plugs with a protector. Exterior light
xture bulbs should be removed and the metal
contact areas coated with a non-water soluble lu-
bricant like Teon or Silicone grease. The sockets
should be sprayed with a protector. Care must
be taken not to get any oil or grease on the glass
portion of the bulbs as this will cause the bulb
to overheat and burn out. LED light xtures are
sealed and not serviceable.
WHEN REPLACING LIGHT BULBS IN MARINE LIGHT FIXTURES,
ALWAYS USE A BULB WITH THE SAME RATING AS THE
ORIGINAL. USING A DIFFERENT BULB COULD CAUSE THE
FIXTURE TO OVERHEAT AND MELT OR SHORT CIRCUIT.
