Electrical Accessories
You may have purchased optional elec-
tronic accessories, such as a VHF radio,
GPS system, or autohelm system, with
your 34C. 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 re-
setting 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 charg-
ing power to the batteries only while the
engines are running. Your 34C also has
a converter, located in the bilge, which
converts 120 volt AC electrical power
from either the generator or shore power
into 12 Volt DC electrical power that will
charge your batteries.
