1. DC Electrical System
The DC electrical system is powered by a baery, and is kept charged by the engine driven alternator.
2. Baery
Refer to your engine owner’s manual for exact baery requirements.
To remove the baery cables:
1. Turn o all items drawing power from the baery.
2. Turn the baery switch to the OFF posion.
3. Remove the negave cable rst, then the posive cable.
To replace the cables, install the posive cable rst, then the negave cable.
3. Baery Box
The baery box, located in the starboard bilge, houses the baery. This box can be accessed via the
a center cockpit oor hatch. The baery can be installed or removed by loosening the strap and
removing the lid on the baery tray. It should always be installed and secured within the baery box
installed on your boat. This will ensure that the baery will not move around while the boat is
underway.
4. Baery Switch
Your vessel is equipped with a baery switch to control the delivery of DC power from the baery.
The baery switch is located on the a cockpit wall. When you turn the baery switch to the ON
posion, power is provided from the baery to the enre boat. To turn on power, rotate the switch
clockwise 90 degrees to the ON posion.
NOTE: Never operate or turn o the baery switch when the engine is running as it may cause
damage to electronic components on the boat. Always operate the switch with the engine and
accessories o.
Never use an open ame in the baery storage area. Avoid
striking sparks in the baery area.
Always disconnect the baery before doing any work on the
electrical system. Never turn o the baery switches or
disconnect the baery cables while the engines are running.
The bilge pump sll draws power from the baery, even if
the switch is set to OFF. This is especially important for the
bilge pump, so that it can operate anyme excess uid
accumulates in the bilge, which can occur when the boat is
docked and unaended.
Never work on the electrical system while the system is
energized. Never leave the cra unaended with the
electrical system energized.
