Electrical System
NOT START THE ENGINES) and read the voltage
on the volt meter for each engine. If the batteries
are in good condition and charging properly, the
volt meters will indicate between 12 and 14.5 volts.
If the reading is below 12 volts, then the battery is
not accepting a charge or the charger is not work-
ing properly. Always turn the ignition switches off
immediately after the monitoring is complete when
using the voltmeters in the engine gauge cluster.
Microwave
Supplies electrical current to the microwave and
coffee maker.
Refrigerator
Supplies 120 volt electrical current directly to the
cabin refrigerator.
Water Heater
Supplies electrical current directly to the hot water
heater circuit. A thermostat in the water heater
control panel automatically controls the water
temperature. Before operation, you must have
water in the water heater. (See the water heater
manual for details)
Bait Freezer
Supplies electrical current to the cooling unit for
the bait freezer/shbox. Temperature is controlled
by a digital monitor located near the cooling unit.
Freezer/shbox temperature is displayed on the
LED screen and buttons on the panel allow for the
adjustment of the temperature.
Outlets
Supplies 120 volt AC electrical current to the cabin
Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) outlets
Notice:
All AC electrical outlets are provided with
ground fault interrupts to protect against
electric shock. These outlets should be test-
ed periodically to ensure proper operation by
pressing the test/reset buttons in the center
of the faceplate. GFI outlets do not protect
against short circuits and overloads. This is
done by the Outlets breaker on the AC panel.
Typical Battery Charger
GFI OUTLETS DO NOT PROVIDE 100% PROTECTION
FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK. EVEN THOUGH GROUND FAULT
INTERRUPTERS PROVIDE PROTECTION BY REDUCING
EXPOSURE TIME FROM LINE TO GROUND SHOCK HAZARDS,
IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO RECEIVE AN ELECTRIC SHOCK FROM
DEFECTIVE APPLIANCES OR POWER TOOLS AND MISUSED
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.
