7.2.3  Battery Charging System
Refer  to  the  DC  Wiring  Diagram  drawing  at  the  end  of 
this  section  for  the  location  of  the  battery  charger.  The 
charger is protected by a fuse on the positive and ground 
side at the charger.
To operate the charger, ensure that it is operating:
Connect the shore power dockside supply shore 
power inlet on the stern of the boat on the port side. 
Turn on AC Main breaker. 
Turn on the Battery Charger breaker.

You can view the DC components controlled by the DC 
control  panel  here  (Fig.  7.2).  Notice  when  the  battery 
selector switch  is  switched  on  the respective  voltage of 
the battery is shown on the right by the digital volt meter. 
Indicator lights are built into most switches and alert you 
that the selected system is powered.
7.2.5  Breakers, Switches, and Fuses

3.
All electrical systems aboard your boat are provided with 
over-current protection in the form of breakers or fuses.  
Examples of breakers are the system or component con-
trols at the 12 Volt Panel, or in the battery selector switch 
panel.  Systems that would normally require you to ener-
gize them for use are provided with switches.
7.2.6 Inverter (Option)
Inverter converts DC power to AC.
7.2.6.1 Inverter Basic Operation
1.  Turn  the  house  battery  switch  to  either  the  “1,  2  or 
Both” positions
2.  Turn  on  inverter  remote  panel  at  the  Navigation 
Station.
3.  Turn  on  the  appropriate  appliance  breaker  on  AC 
Panel. Note: only Outlets and microwave operating using 
the inverter.
See Inverter manual for  technical data, troubleshooting, 
etc. operatiing/programming instructions.
7.2.7  Generator (Option)
Although,  technically,  the  generator  is  part  of  the  AC 
System, because it supplies AC power, however the start-
ing of the generator requires DC power.  The generator 
starting receives power from the start battery bank.
The  generator  supplies  120  volt  60  hz  AC  power  for 
operating devices and equipment controlled through the 
AC Control Panel.
When the generator indicating light is on and the genera-
tor breakers are on, AC power is supplied to  AC control 
panel devices and equipment.  
Refer to the “Operation and Procedures” part of the AC 
Electric section for information on starting the generator.
You  can  find  the  location  of  the  generator  on  the  DC 
Wiring Diagram drawing at the end of this chapter. 
7.2.8  Water Systems
The  water  systems  are  outlined  in  the  Water  Systems 
chapter in this manual. However, the monitor for this sys-
tem are powered by the DC Electrical system.
