The battery supplies electricity for lights, 12-Volt accessories, and engine starting.
The Electrical section of Chapter 8, in the Sport Boat Owner’s Manual, provides battery care and
maintenance instructions.
Fuses
• Fuses for the engine and main accessory power are on the fuse block under the helm dash.
• Some equipment may have secondary fuse protection at the unit, or at the battery.
12-Volt Accessory Outlet
• Your boat is equipped with one or more 12-volt accessory outlets.
• The outlet(s) can be used with any 12-volt device which draws 10 amps or less.
• Each 12-volt accessory outlet is protected by a 10 amp fuse on the fuse block.
Alternator
The alternator will keep the battery properly charged when the engine is running at cruising speeds.
