alternator. When the selector switch is on battery # 2, the engine and the 12-volt system will be
supplied power by battery # 2. Battery # 1 will be isolated and in reserve. Battery # 2 will then
be charged by the alternator.
When the selector switch is on “ALL,” the batteries are connected in parallel so the engine and the
12-volt system will be supplied power by both batteries. Both batteries will be charged by the
alternator. The “ALL” position should only be used when starting the engine, as this requires extra
electrical power, or when both batteries are low and need charging. Otherwise, it is recommended
that the selector switch be set on battery # 1 or battery # 2 when the engine is operating. While in
port, or at anchor, the battery selector switch should be on either the battery # 1 or the battery # 2
position. This will keep one battery in reserve for starting the engine. The battery switch should
be turned to the “OFF” position when leaving the boat unattended.

The bilge pump is installed in the rear center of the bilge. The pump moves water out through the
thru-hull fitting in the hull. To start the pump manually, put the switch in the “ON” position.
Note: The bilge pump will start automatically when there is sufficient water in the bilge
to activate the float switch. The float switch is protected by a circuit breaker located
near the battery selector switch and is always supplied current when the batteries are
connected.
