3100 OFFSHORE

Blank Module: Acts as a filler to complete the modular design.

BATTERY SWITCHES

There are four battery switches and three parallel switches to manage the 12-volt power distribution.

The Port Start switch controls the battery for the port engine. The Electronics switch provides power to the

electronic buss bar that feeds aftermarket electronics installations. The Parallel switch connects these two

batteries together which is primarily used to charge the engine battery at dockside.

The Starboard Start switch controls the battery for the starboard engine. The House switch provides power

to the house circuits on the boat. The Parallel switch connects these two batteries together which is primarily

used to charge the engine battery at dockside.

For information on battery charging using the on-board charger, refer to Battery Charger in the AC Systems

section of this chapter.

The Emergency Parallel switch connects the port and starboard engine batteries for emergency starting if one

of the engine batteries is dead or low.

THE BOAT SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS WITH THE EMER-

GENCY PARALLEL SWITCH IN THE "ON" POSITION.

Make sure that all battery switches are activated whenever the engines are running to insure that all 12-volt

accessories will operate when they are needed. Current is supplied to the automatic float switches for the

bilge pumps and stereo memory when the batteries are connected and the battery switches are off.
