to it, will be indicated on the Voltmeter.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the Voltmeter Switch
is in the
OFF position when not
in use, especially while the boat
is unattended. The voltmeter is independent of the
Battery Selector Switch and if left on, it will drain the
charge from the batteries.

Voltmeter - The Voltmeter will register the amount of
charge available
at the battery or batteries. If a boat is
equipped with two batteries and one voltmeter, a Volt-
meter Switch will be provided to permit selection of the
desired battery.
Bilge Blower- The BLOWER Switch is used to activate
the bilge blower. The bilge blower
is used to remove any
gas vapors that may have accumulated in the bilge or
engine areas.
On dual station boats. the blower can
only be turned off
althe station from which it was activa-
ted.
Panel Lights - The Panel Lights Switch is used to
activate the helm console panel lights.
Horn - The HORN Switch sounds the horn for as long
as switch is manually held depressed.
Wipers - The WIPER SWitch activates the windshield
wipers.
On dual station boats, a WIPER Switch is not
provided at the upper station.
Spotlig ht - The Spotlight controls are in the dash panel.

position to activate the anchor light. The center position
of the switch is OFF.
NOTE: Some models have independent switches for
the Nav and Anchor lights.
Fuel
Gauge - Boats equipped with a single tank have
a fuel gauge that
will register the fuel level when the
Ignition Switch is
in the ON position. Models equipped
with two tanks either have two Fuel Gauges
or a dual
position FUEL
Switch. If a FUEL Switch is provided,
fuel level
is determined by placing the Ignition Switch in
the ON position and moving the FUEL Switch towards
the position that indicates the desired tank. The FUEL
Switch
is spring-loaded to return to the center-OFF
position upon release.
Bilge Pump - Bilge Pumps are used to remove water
from the bilge (bottom of the
hull) area
of the boat by
pumping that water overboard. The Bilge
Pump Switch
is used to either cause continuous operation
ofthe Bilge
Pump(s) or, operation when a predetermined level of
water accumulates in the bilge. Continuous Bilge Pump
operation is caused by placing the Bilge Pump Switch
in the CONTINUOUS positon. When in the AUTO-
MATIC position, the bilge pump will be activated auto-
matically. Automatic operation will commence when-
ever bilge water rises to a level
that will cause the bilge
float switch to move upward.
The Bilge Pump will remain active if placed in the
AUTOMATIC position even if the Battery Selector
Switch is the OFF position. The Bilge Pump Circuitry
is
connected directly to the batteries and is protected by
in line fuses or circuit breakers that are located nearthe
Battery Selector Switch.
IMPORTANT: Before leaving your boat unattended for
an extended period; ensure that the Bilge Pump Switch
is in the AUTOMATIC position. This will provide auto-
matic draining of the bilge should a leak develop while
the boat
is unattended. Check the water level in the
bilge often. '
Trim Tabs - The Trim Tabs are used to cause the bow
of the boat
to move up or down while underway. This
action in turn can cause more efficient operation of the
boat. Ifthe
boatis equipped with Electric-Hydraulictrim
tabs, the trim tabs are controlled by the Trim Tab Up
or
Trim Tab Down Buttons. Section J contains additional
information regarding usage of the Trirn Tabs.
