As part of the direct current circuitry the engine features a breaker
with a reset button. This breaker protects the engine wiring from
overloads. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s manual for the breaker
location and operation.
In addition, there are fuses protecting the individual switches.
If they “blow” due to an overload, they can be replaced at the panel
under the helm. Replace with the same amperage and type. Carry extra
fuses which areavailable at marine supply stores or the closest Regal
dealer parts department. See the fuse and breaker listing on the next
page. Note that the listing displays standard and optional equipment.
DC Circuit Protection
Inside the battery switch box are several electrical items. One of the
items just to the right of the battery switch is a breaker normally 30
amps with a red reset button. This breaker protects the main red power
lead running up to the dash.
Battery Switch Box
Battery Switch
The battery switch displays 4 functions; off, 1, all and 2. They stand
for off position, battery l, both batteries and battery 2. This switch is
designed to start the engine from either battery if one is low or both
batteries. Simply turn the knob to the desired position before cranking
over the engine. This switch features “make before break” technology
which allows the operator to rotate the switch between 1, 2, or all
positions with the engine running. It is recommended that you alternate
between battery 1 and 2 positions each outing. Both batteries will stay
charged this way. If you operate the switch in the “all” position and a
malfunction occurs it is possible to drain both batteries. Never turn
the battery switch to the “off ” position with the engine running.
The battery switch is located in a weather protected battery box under
the cockpit port seat along the port hullside.
