12-Volt DC System
Battery
• The battery supplies electricity for lights, 12-volt accessories and engine starting.
• The Electrical section of Chapter 8 in the Sport Boat Owner’s Manual provides battery care and
maintenance instructions.
Battery Switch
• Standby-loads, such as the automatic bilge
pump and the stereo memory, are not affected by
the battery switch since they are wired directly
to the battery (see the Wiring Diagrams section
of this chapter for more details).
• Turn the battery switch to the Off position when-
ever your boat will be unoccupied for long peri-
ods of time.
SHOCK and ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
When the engine is running, NEVER turn Off the battery switch or disconnect the bat-
tery cables. Doing either could cause damage to your boat’s engine and/or electrical
system.
CAUTION
!
Make sure your selling dealer fully explains how to use the battery switch.
