Electrical System
The ignition switch is a key activated switch, lo-
cated near the helm below the steering wheel,
which starts and stops the engine. The switch
has OFF - ON and momentary START positions.
Starting procedure
Make sure the engine is down with the shift lever in
the neutral position and your hand on the control
lever. Turn the ignition key to the ON position to
activate the fuel pump and ignition system. Wait
5 seconds for the fuel pump to pressurize the sys-
tem, then turn the key to the start position. When
the engine starts, release the key and the switch
will automatically go to the run position. Stop
the engine by turning the key to the OFF position.
The engine ignition circuits are protected by fuses
or circuit breakers located on each engine.
Helm Accessory Switch Panel
The main accessory switch panel is located at the
helm. The circuit breakers that protect the acces-
sories are located in the panel near the switches.
An LED light built into the switches indicates that
the circuit is activated.
The accessory switch panels in the 223 and the
243 are slightly different. Your boat may have all
or some of the switches described in this section,
depending on the accessories and optional equip-
ment installed on your boat.
