dard knot/depth display and/or the optional Autopilot
component and protects them from a power fault. It is
labeled “Instruments” for only the knot/depth display and
“Autopilot” for the optional autopilot and knot/depth dis-
play (unless the optional chartplotter is installed).
NOTE: Consult the instrument manufacturers’ OEM manual for
instrument operation, care and maintenance.
7.3.2.9 Shower Sump Pump Breaker
Once the DC panel is energized, the sump pump is also
energized. A 10 amp pop-out breaker labeled “Sump
Pump” protects it from a power fault.
For additional details on the sump pump system, please
refer to the Waste Systems chapter of this manual.
NOTE: Consult the pump manufacturers’ OEM manual for
instrument operation, care and maintenance.
7.3.2.10 Electric Toilet Breaker
Once the DC panel is energized, the optional electric
toilet electrical components are also energized. A 25
amp pop-out breaker labeled “Head” protects them from
a power fault.
For additional details on the toilet system, please refer to
the Waste Systems chapter of this manual.
NOTE: Consult the electrical toilet manufacturer’s OEM manual
for component operation, care and maintenance.
7.3.2.11 12V Outlet Breaker
Your boat comes equipped with 3 12v outlets (see Fig.
7.21 for outlet locations). Once the DC panel is ener-
gized, these outlets are also energized. A 15 amp pop-
out breaker labeled “12V Outlets” protects the system
from a power fault.
7.3.2.12 Spare Breaker Positions
The DC panel has spare positions available for both a
switch breaker and pop-out breaker.
7.3.2.13 Panel Lights Switch
Half way down the right side of the panel is the two-posi-
tion rocker switch (“On-Off”) for panel lights. The power
for the panel backlights for both the DC panel and AC
panel are provided by the DC system and controlled with
the rocker switch labeled “Panel Lts”. This circuitry is pro-
tected by a 5 amp fuse located on the back of the panel.
7.3.2.14 Bilge Pump Switch
Half way down the right side of the panel, immediately
below the Panel Lights switch, is the momentary rocker
switch for the main bilge pump. This switch allows man-
ual control of the bilge pump and is energized regardless
if the DC Panel is not energized. Pressing the right side
of the switch engages the bilge pump and illuminates
the LED to the left of the switch, indicating an energized
state.
The circuit breaker for the main bilge pump is located on
the Battery Switch Panel.
For additional details on the bilge pump system, please
refer to the Waste Systems chapter of this manual.
NOTE: Consult the pump manufacturers’ OEM man-
ual for instrument operation, care and maintenance.
7.3.2.14.1 To manually operate your bilge pump
To manually operate the bilge pump, one can do either
of the following:
NOTE: The power to the DC panel does not need to be ener-
gized in order to manually operate your bilge pumps.
Flip and hold the rocker switch on the DC panel to the
right until the pump out is complete. The toggle will
spring back upon release.
For extreme circumstances, locate the float switch
on the pump and manually rotate the float handle
to simulate the float switch being under water. This
will energize the pump. Hold until the pump out is
complete.
7.4 Other DC System Components
The following components do not have a dedicated
switch or fuse on the main panels and are generally pro-
tected within the OEM wiring or separate breakers/fuses.
We will introduce these components and the method and
location of power and circuit protection.
