Parallel Battery Mode
• An emergency crossover (parallel) switch at the helm enables you to start an engine using both engine batteries if
the designated engine battery is low.
• To use the parallel mode, make sure both battery switches are turned on. Hold down the parallel switch while
cranking the engine. Once the engine has started, release the switch.
Battery Charger
Your yacht is equipped with a battery charger.
• The battery charger will charge the batteries whenever the boat is
plugged into 120 volt shore power or the optional generator is running.
• We recommend that you thoroughly read and understand the battery
charger manual (provided in your yacht’s owner’s packet) before using
the battery charger for the first time.
• The battery charger’s circuit breaker is located on the AC panel and must
be turned ON for charging to occur.
AC Electrical System
Your yacht uses 120v/60Hz or optional 240v/60Hz AC (alternating
current) systems.
Τhe AC system can be energized by shore power,
optional inverter or optional generator power. This system is
designed so that ship’s power and shore power sources cannot
supply power simultaneously.
The AC panel is located on the starboard side of the salon. The AC panel’s master circuit breakers provide power
source selections to the accessory breakers that are located directly below the master breaker you wish to activate.
SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
• NEVER disconnect battery cables or turn off battery switches while the engines or
optional generator is running since this can cause damage to your boat’s electrical
components.
• The crossover (parallel) switch should only be used in an emergency.

NOTICE
Accessories that are powered by the optional inverter have
white-colored AC panel breakers.
• The simultaneous operation of several AC accessories can result in an overloaded circuit.
It may be necessary to turn off one accessory while operating another.
• DO NOT energize the AC water heater electrical circuit until the heater is completely filled
with water. Even momentary operation in a dry tank will damage the heating elements.
Warranty replacements will not be made on elements or tank damaged in this manner. The
tank is full if water flows from the tap when the hot water is turned on in the galley.
