Circuit Breakers / Fuses_________________________
The fuse panel is found in the starboard bow storage locker in front
of the helm. Open the bow backrest to access the panel. The helm or
sometimes called the dash, features fuses for each system it controls.
A fuse is recognized as a color coded piece inserted into the fuse
block. Should a piece of equipment linked to the fuse start to draw
more power than normal, the thin piece of wire in the fuse will melt
and “blow” the fuse. After determining and fi xing the system fault,
replace the fuse with one of the same size to complete the circuit
and protect the equipment once more. Fuses are located on the
dash fuse box, underneath the dash, on the engine, and in the engine
compartment, while some circuit breakers are located on the ignition
panel and/or the engine itself depending on the manufacturer.
Stereo________________________________________
The stereo requires little maintenance. Keep the cover closed as it
protects the unit from water, dirt, and ultra-violet damage. When
washing the interior, DO NOT discharge water directly at the cover
or stereo unit. DO NOT discharge water into the speakers either.
For further information, refer to your stereo owner’s manual.
Blower_______________________________________
Check the blower hoses to ensure they are fastened in the bilge properly
and that there are no holes in them. The exhaust hose connected
to the blower needs to be at least 3/4 of the way into the bilge to
evacuate fumes properly. Check to ensure the blower hoses are free
from any traps. All vents need to be checked for debris as well.
Make sure the blower motor is securely fastened and all hose clamps
and tie wraps are tight. Periodically, tighten electrical connectors.
