DC CIRCUIT PROTECTION
A source of engine circuit protection is located on the
engine itself. On Volvo engines, there is a flat plug on
the engine that interfaces with the boat harness and the
dash. Within this system there are selected in-line fuses
that protect the key switch as well as the dash gauges. It
does not power the dash switches such as bilge pump,
blower, etc.
If an engine circuit fuse “blows” determine the cause of
the malfunction before replacing the fuse. Consult the
engine manufacturer’s manual located in the owner’s
information pouch for further information.
