SYSTEM OPERATIONS-18
Electrical Accessories
You may have purchased optional electronic accesso-
ries such as a VHF Radio, GPS System, or Autohelm
System with your 33C. These units are controlled by
the switches marked ACC. located on the Helm Switch
Panel. These accessories are powered through the DC
Electrical Panel. The switches used to control them
are marked “ACC”.
Lower Portion of DC Panel
Below the DC Volt section of the DC Panel is the Bilge
Pump section of the DC Panel. There are three (3) sets
of breakers and switches. Each Bilge Pump (forward,
mid, and aft) has a breaker switch and an ON/OFF
Switch. Although the Bilge Pumps always have power
to them, to operate the Bilge Pumps manually you must
have the battery switches ON.
BREAKER SWITCHES: The breaker switches
are your safety switches. They work just like a
fuse, but are re-setable. If the breaker switch
is activated, before resetting the switch, locate
the problem. The breaker is reset by pushing
in the white button.
MANUAL SWITCH: This is the ON/OFF
Switch.
Battery Charging System
The batteries maintain their charge from alternators,
which are located on each Engine. The alternators
supply charging power to the batteries only while the
Engines are running. Your 33C also has a converter,
located in the bilge, which converts 120 Volt AC Electri-
cal Power from either the Generator or Shore Power
into 12 Volt DC Electrical Power that will charge your
batteries.
