SYSTEM OPERATIONS-14
Key Switch for the Port Engine.
”Main Battery 1” breaker on the DC
Electrical Panel.
”Flybridge Electric” breaker on the DC
Electrical Panel.
Auto/Bilge Memory Breaker Switch - The
Auto/Bilge Breaker Switch gets its’ power
from the Port Battery Bank. The power
goes from this switch to the following loca-
tions:
The AUTO Bilge switches on the DC
Electrical Panel.
The Constant ON section of the Fuse
Box behind the Electrical Panels.
The Port and Starboard Battery Switches
control just about all appliances of the en-
tire DC System. If the switches are OFF,
no DC power at all is activated on your
boat. The items that the Battery Switches
do NOT turn off are the memory fuse box,
Engine Controls, Windlass, and Automatic
Bilge Pump Switches. The Engine Con-
trols and the Windlass each have their
own Breaker that turns off the DC Power.
NOTE: The bilge pumps, carbon monox-
ide detectors, radio memory, Windlass,
and Engine Controls are NOT discon-
nected from their power source when the
battery switch is turned to the OFF posi-
tion. These accessories are connected
directly to the battery and have their own
Breaker Switch. To work on these items,
you would have to locate their breakers
and turn it OFF.
Generator Battery Switch: The Generator
Battery Switch is located starboard of the
generator in the engine room. This switch
determines if the battery power is ON or
OFF to the generator. The generator sup-
plies AC power, not DC Power.
