DC Electric Systems
This section will provide you with the information necessary
to understand and operate your DC Electrical Systems.
It is not the scope of this manual to educate you on repair,
or extending the electrical system. We cannot educate
you in the principals of basic electricity. The scope of your
manual is to provide you with the basic information you
will need for safety, operation, and maintenance of these
systems.

Do not rely on the information in this manual as a re-
pair guide, as always only competent electrical ser-
vice personnel should attempt to repair any electri-
cal equipment or extension of the electrical systems.
To do so would risk electrical shock, or damage to
the boats systems or components.

7.2.1 Batteries
The batteries installed in your boat have been selected
for their ability to furnish starting power based on engine
stsrting requirements, as well as their ability to power
the DC components attached to the electrical system.
See Table 1 for the recommended batteries for your
boat.

Battery acid can cause severe personal injury such
as blindness.
Keep flame, spark, and smoking materials away from
batteries while charging. Charge in a well ventilated
area.

Batteries contain a large amount of potential
electrical energy!
Extreme care must taken when working with
batteries.
An improper connection to a battery can release
enough energy to cause severe personal injury or
fire.
The DC System derives its power from two separate
battery banks.
