4. There must be a main switch connected to the
starter battery positive (+) terminal. The main
switch should cut off power to all power consum-
ing equipment and should be switched off when
the boat is not in use.
5. If an auxiliary battery is in use, a main switch
should be connected between its (+) terminal
and the fuse block, and the (–) terminal and the
terminal block for the boat’s electrical equipment.
The main switch for the auxiliary battery must cut
off all power consuming equipment connected to
that battery and be turned off when power is no
longer needed.
All equipment connected to the auxiliary battery
should have separate switches.
To simultaneously charge two independent bat-
tery circuits, fit a Volvo Penta charge distributor
(accessory) to the regular generator.
