• By night only the navigation lights;
• Lighting of the chart table only if used;
• Navigation instruments, if necessary switch to ‚stand by’;
• FM radio station only in critical situations.
If an autopilot is installed, it can consume a lot of power, especially
when sailing in heavy swell, because the hydraulic steering pump
may have to carry out significant steering corrections depending
on the swell conditions.
The general lighting should also only be switched on when necessary. One should dispense with
the refrigerator box, the heating and other consumers that require a great amount of energy.
Remember to recharge the batteries when at sea, as well. Start the engine while sailing can
recharge the batteries up to the desired state so that the next most important consumers can be
switched on.
In case of malfunctions, you should check the electrical systems and installations to find out the
reason for insufficient charging.

The engine battery is used to start the engine.

The gel batteries require low maintenance and should be well charged at all times. Please check
this regularly.
In the winter season it is necessary to store the well-charged batteries in a dry and frost-free
place. Take care that the poles are clean and protected against corrosion with pole grease.
1.5.2. Alternating current system
The 230 V installation on board is supplied with current via the shore connection, the batteries via
an inverter or the generator (option).
In case there is no shore connection or a generator at your disposal, you should use the 230 V
devices via the inverter in a very energy-conscious way, because the capacity of the batteries is
limited. You may have to start the engine to recharge the consumer batteries. Therefore: Use the
220 Volt system when connected to shore power.
The current is distributed via the switchboard in the saloon. The circuits are provided with
switches so that the consumers can be switched from a central location. Fuses protect all
electrical circuits within the system against overload. The fuses indicate whether there is a failure
in the system. If required, your dealer can provide the circuit diagram.
