STANDARD FEATURES
BATTERY LAYOUT AND MANAGEMENT
The 330 TE is equipped with four batteries which are located in the aft rigging compartments. They
can be reached using the access hatches located on the vertical wall beneath the port and starboard
livewells. A cranking battery and house battery are installed on each side. Wire leads run forward to the
battery management panel, which is located in the cabinet assembly on the forward wall of the leaning
post.(See Chapter 3 for information regarding the operation of this panel). The engine cranking leads are
run thru the hull rigging tubes from the management panel, then connected to a positive stud located on the
bulkhead in each aft rigging compartment. The engine grounds are secured to the DC Negative Bus on its
respective side (see diagram below).
The house batteries are wired in parallel, and provide the power for all your DC accessories. The
main lead running to the battery management panel is attached to the starboard house battery. The lead
connects to the “House” switch on the panel and is routed forward through the 50 amp “DC Main” breaker
located in the bottom right corner. During normal operation the “DC Main” breaker can remain in the
“ON” position, and the “house” switch will control battery power. The main ground for all DC accessories
is tied into the DC negative bus in the starboard rigging compartment (see diagram below).
For a detailed drawing of the panel connections, see the diagram on page 15 of this chapter.
