times. (refer to page 10 for bilge pump instructions). When the boat is not in use, it is
recommended to leave the battery switch in the off, “0’, position to ensure that the main
battery is not drained over the long term by minor current flows.
Your Pathfinder is rigged at the factory so that the primary battery or "house battery" is
tied to setting “1” on the battery switch. When the switch is in this position, your main
breaker LED light should be illuminated. If that is not the case, determine if the breaker
has been tripped by pressing in the right side of 50-amp switch labeled with the “I”. This
will close the circuit and should result in the LED light coming on. In the event there is
still no main power, this could be an indication of a dead battery, loose connection from
this battery to the battery switch, or the need for a new 50-amp breaker.
All Pathfinders are rigged standard with a 24 volt trolling motor wiring system. The
battery switch allows for pulling from one of the trolling motor batteries or a secondary
battery to supplement or totally replace the house battery. In the event that there is not
enough power to crank the engine from battery “1”, turning the battery switch to the
“1+2” position will allow you to pull power from both batteries simultaneously. If this is
required to start the engine, it is recommended to change the switch back to the “1”
position once the engine is running so that the engine’s alternator can recharge the
primary battery.
