1. DC Electrical System
The DC electrical system is powered by two baeries, and are kept charged by the engine driven
alternator or by the baery charger when connected to AC power. The baery voltage is indicated by
the voltmeter screen located on the SmartCra
TM
tachometer.
2. Baeries
Refer to your engine owner’s manual for exact baeries requirements. All baeries in a baery bank
should be of the same type, age, and rang.
To remove the baery cables:
1. Turn o all items drawing power from the baery.
2. Turn the baery switches to the OFF posion.
3. Remove the negave cable rst, then the posive cable.
To replace the cables, install the posive cable rst, then the negave cable.
3. Baery Boxes
The baery boxes, located in the bilge, house the two baeries. These boxes can be accessed by
opening the forward center cockpit hatch. The baeries can be installed or removed by loosening the
strap and removing the lid on the baery box. They should always be installed and secured with the
baery boxes installed on your boat. This will ensure that the baeries will not move around while the
boat is underway.
4. Baery Selector Switch
Your vessel is equipped with a baery switch to control the delivery of DC power from the baeries.
The baery switch is located on the port a corner of the cockpit behind an access door.
There is a single baery switch that controls two isolated baery banks. When you turn the baery
switch to posion “1”, power is provided from the rst baery. When you turn the baery switch to
posion “2” power is provided from the second baery.
The baery switch also has the ability to combine baery banks at posion “1 & 2”. This is the
recommended posion for normal operaon as it will allow both baeries to be charged when the
engine is running.
The boat may be operated on one baery at a me when using accessories without the engine
running to reserve power in the opposite baery.
NOTE: Never operate or turn o the baery 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 baery storage area. Avoid
striking sparks in the baery area.
Always disconnect the baery before doing any work on the
electrical system. Never turn o the baery switches or
disconnect the baery cables while the engines are running.
