Maintenance: Electrical system
3. Protective earth for e.g. radio, navigation equip-
ment, rudder, bathing ladder or other equipment in
which there are separate cables for protective
earth must be collected on an earth connection
that is not connected to the engine, gear wheels or
reverse gear.
IMPORTANT! The engine or reverse gear
must never be used as an earth connection.
4. The battery must have a main switch connected
on the positive (+) side of the battery. The main
switch isolates all consumers and is turned off
when the boat is not in use.
5. If an extra consumer battery is used, there must
be a main switch (1) between the (+) terminal of
the consumer battery and the fuse strip for the
boat’s electric equipment. The main switch iso-
lates all consumers connected to the consumer
battery and is turned off when no longer needed.
Equipment connected to the consumer battery
must have separate switches.
For simultaneous charging of two independent
battery circuits, there should be a separate charge
distributor (accessory) fitted to the standard gen-
erator.
