Electrical System
& 2 (Both) battery selector switch or an ON/OFF
switch for the engine START battery, an ON/OFF
switch for the HOUSE battery and an EMERGENCY
PARALLEL ON/OFF switch. The battery switches
are located in a panel below the center stern seat
cushion or in a compartment in the starboard side
of the cockpit near the transom door. The bat-
teries are charged by the engine or the optional
battery charger when hooked to shore power.
Circuit Protection
214SS/218SS/234SS/238SS/268SS
All 12 volt power is distributed to the 12 volt ac-
cessories through individual circuit breakers lo-
cated in the 12 volt breaker panels. A main helm
circuit breaker, located near the battery switch,
protects the system from an overload. Other
circuit breakers, located near the selector switch,
optional windlass. Other fuses or circuit breakers
in the engine compartment protect the circuits for
the optional Mercathode active corrosion system,
battery charger and windlass on some models.
Most 12 volt accessories are operated directly by
switches in the helm accessory switch panels or
separate accessory switch panels.
Main breakers located on the engine protect the
ignition, engine charging system and gauges.
Some 12 volt accessories are operated directly
by a circuit breaker in the breaker panels while
others are operated by a switch fed by the panel
breakers. Most of the 12 volt accessories on the
deck and in the cockpit are operated by switches
in the helm switch panel.
288SS Circuit Protection
All 12 volt power is distributed to the 12 volt acces-
sories through individual circuit breakers or fuses
located in the 12 volt breaker and fuse panels. A
main helm circuit breaker, located near the bat-
tery switch, protects the system from an overload.
Other circuit breakers, located near the selector
switches, protect the circuits for the bilge pump
lights, water pump, sump pump, stereo, arch, 12
volt receptacle, cockpit refrigerator, macerator and
optional windlass. Other fuses or circuit breakers
in the engine compartment protect the circuits for
the optional Mercathode active corrosion system,
battery charger and windlass. Most 12 volt ac-
cessories are operated directly by switches in the
helm accessory switch panels or separate acces-
sory switch panels.

Main breakers located on the engine protect the
ignition, engine charging system and gauges.
Some 12 volt accessories are operated directly by
a circuit breaker in the breaker panels while others
are operated by a switch fed by the panel break-
ers or the power management module behind the
helm. Most of the 12 volt accessories on the deck
and in the cockpit are operated by switches in the
helm switch panels.
