Electrical System
Battery 1 will be charged by the alternator. When
the selector switch is on battery 2, the engine and
12 volt system will be supplied power by battery 2.
Battery 1 will be isolated and in reserve. Battery
2 will then be charged by the alternator.
When the selector switch is on 1 & 2, the batteries
are connected in parallel so the engine and 12 volt
system will be supplied power by both batteries.
Both batteries will be charged by the alternator.
The 1 & 2 position should only be used when start-
ing the engine, as this requires extra electrical
power or when both batteries are low and need
charging. Otherwise, it is recommended that the
selector switch be set on battery 1 or battery 2
when the engine is operating. While in port, trolling
or at anchor, the battery selector switch should be
set on either the battery 1 or the battery 2 position.
This will keep one battery in reserve for starting the
engine. The battery switch should be turned to the
OFF position when leaving the boat unattended.
Notice:
Current is supplied to the automatic oat
switch for the bilge pump and alarm when
the batteries are connected, even if the bat-
tery switch is o.
