Chapter 4
TYPICAL 12 VOLT HELM SWITCH PANEL
e helm switch panel is controlled by the dash main
breaker located on the battery management center pan-
el discussed earlier in this chapter.
e skipper should learn the location of all DC break-
ers on the vessel and the equipment they protect. For
example, a breaker may trip on the sub-panel but may
not trip the breaker on the battery management panel.
Knowing his breaker location will aid the skipper in
troubleshooting problems faster.
Remember, always nd why a breaker “blows” before
resetting it. Refer to the technical drawing section for
additional information.
Note: A portion of the DC circuit protection is provided
by the fuse block under the helm as mentioned earlier
in this chapter.
