AVIARA OWNERS MANUAL / 136
Due to the presence of water in the boating environment,
Aviara utilizes Ground Fault Interruption (GFI) circuit breaker
boards. These are solid-state devices that sense when there
is a ground fault, which often occurs in instances involving
water penetration.
When the electrical flow is interrupted through a fuse, it then
has to be replaced rather than reset. Aviara uses digitally
resettable PDM modules rather than fuses in every boat.
Access to the PDM is very limited and should only be accessed
by an authorized Aviara dealer. Fuses can be reset on Aviara’s
main helm mounted digital display. For more information
regarding resetting the PDM see your boat’s respective screen
operation in the chapters above.
Location
The main circuit breaker board is located under the port side
aft seating facing forward. A secondary circuit breaker for the
aft and forward bilges, windlass, and entry lights is located
near the main battery switches beneath the rear facing port
side aft seating.
If during maintenance or inspection it becomes necessary
to remove or reposition any of the engine’s wiring or wire
harness(es), verify that the wiring has been returned to its
original position and that all harnesses are routed correctly
before attempting to use the boat again. If a wiring clip or
retainer breaks, replace it immediately.
Wiring is specifically routed to eliminate problems related
to engine heat, and spray or immersion in liquids. Electrical
problems may result if wiring is moved from its original position.
