INSTRUMENTATION
The helm station is equipped with a complete set of instruments that
allows you to monitor the condition of the engine. Close observation
of the gauges may save the engine from damage. Gauges do however
have some inaccuracy, so do not rely upon them fully.
The dash ignition panel is protected by a amain 20 amp ignition breaker
located next to the key switch on the panel. It is connected through
the ignition switch. Your dash instrumentation (gauges, displays, etc.)
are protected by a 10 amp fuse underneath the dash. Should this fuse
“blow”, investigate the cause before replacing it. Also located on
your ignition panel is a 12 volt accessory plug that fi ts many portable
electronic chargers meant for a cigarette plug.
Note that with the battery switch in the “off ” position, there is no
power to the dashboard, and the ignition switch will not function
properly.
All electrical features are protected by a main fuse mounted close to the
battery switch. A fuse for the stereo memory and the automatic bilge
pump system are also located next to the battery switch in the engine
compartment. Fuses for the engine are located either in-line, between
components, or in a fuse box. All the switches on the dashboard also
have a fuse, located in the forward starboard storage area directly in
front of the helm. Should a fuse “blow” it is fi rst necessary to fi gure
out the reason and address the cause before replacing it.
