Troubleshooting
Because battery needs can vary substantially depending
on a number of factors in usage, from boating locations to
number of electrical components on the boat, Aviara strongly
encourages you to discuss this critical matter with your
authorized Aviara dealer prior to purchase and placement of
the battery in the boat. All batteries must have 800 CCA (cold
cranking amps). Less can result in too-fast discharge of the
battery charge and may leave boaters stranded on the water.
Spiral cell batteries are recommended.
Review all electrical information provided in this Owner’s
Manual prior to first time operation of the boat.

Purpose
All major boat circuits are protected from shorting and overload
by resettable circuit breakers. When an electrical fault is
detected, mechanical switch circuit breakers will “trip” and
automatically interrupt the flow of electricity. In a circuit breaker,
when the electrical flow exceeds specified design tolerances,
the electromagnetic bar snaps and cuts off further electrical
passage. This can be extremely important in protecting persons
on-board and also in preventing electrical fires.
