BATTERY SWITCHES

There are two battery switches and one parallel switch to

manage the 12-volt power distribution. The number 1 battery

switch controls the battery for the engine and is reserved for

engine starting. The other battery controlled by switch num-

ber 2 provides power to the DC main and electronics main

circuits.

The parallel switch connects the batteries for emergency start-

ing if one of the batteries is dead or low. As long as the parallel

switch remains in the "OFF" position, the engine battery will

not be discharged by the use of 12-volt accessories and equip-

ment on the boat.

Make sure that the number 1 and 2 battery switches are

activated whenever the engine is running to ensure 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.

THE BOAT SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS WITH THE EMERGENCY

PARALLEL SWITCH IN THE "ON" POSITION.
