Electrical Systems
4.1 General
Your Pursuit boat is equipped with DC and
AC electrical systems. The DC system
draws current from onboard batteries. The
AC system can draw current from either
shore power outlets at dockside, the optional
inverter or the optional generator.
Electrical schematics are included in this
manual to assist technicians in servicing the
electrical systems. Pursuit recommends you
take your boat to an authorized Pursuit
dealer for service or installation of additional
electrical equipment. Pursuit reserves the
right to modify or update the electrical sys-
tem at any time without notice to the con-
sumer or obligation to make updates to
boats built prior to the change.
Some compartments on your boat may be
lighted. Lights bulbs produce heat and can
ignite combustible products. Turn off all light-
ing before you leave the boat.
4.2 DC System
Batteries
The 12-volt batteries have been selected to
provide optimum performance for engine
starting, and house and electronics loads.
There are four, Group 31, lead acid batter-
ies; one for the starboard engine, one for the
port engine, one for the house and one for
the bow thruster. These batteries require
similar maintenance to automobile batteries.
The port and starboard engine and house/
electronics batteries are located in the tran-
som under the removable storage box. The
thruster battery is located under the forward
in-deck hatch just in front of the thruster. A
circuit breaker on each engine protects the
engine ignition systems and gauges. Refer
to the engine owner's manual for information
on the circuit breakers installed on your
engines.
DC Distribution
The 12-volt DC system batteries are
charged by the engine charging system or
the battery charger when connected to
shore power or when operating the genera-
tor. 12-volt power is distributed to the battery
switches and breakers on the Main Distribu-
tion Panel (MDP) (located at the end of the
port side companion seat) that protect the
switch panels on the helm and in the cabin.
The battery voltage for the house battery is
monitored using the volt meter on the MDP.
The engine battery voltage is monitored on
the respective tachometer.
! WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Ignited combustible products can
cause fire or explosion, resulting in
death or serious injury. DO NOT store
combustibles near lights and turn off
all lighting before leaving the boat.
