Outlets

Supply electrical current to the cabin ground fault interrupter (GFI) electrical outlets. All AC electrical outlets

are provided with ground fault interrupters to protect against electric shock. These outlets should be tested

periodically to ensure proper operation by pressing the test/reset buttons in the center of face plate. GFI outlets

do not protect against short circuits and overloads. This is done by the outlet breakers on the AC panel.

GFI OUTLETS DO NOT PROVIDE 100% PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK. EVEN

THOUGH GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTERS PROVIDE PROTECTION BY REDUCING EX-

POSURE TIME FROM LINE TO GROUND SHOCK HAZARDS, IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO

RECEIVE AN ELECTRIC SHOCK FROM DEFECTIVE APPLIANCES OR POWER TOOLS AND

MISUSED ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.

Battery Charger

The battery charger supplies electrical current directly to the automatic battery charger. The battery charger

charges and maintains the 12-volt batteries simultaneously when activated. It is automatic and is equipped

with an amp meter to monitor charging. See the battery charger manual for more information.

Battery Charger Operation:

At dockside, when the boat is connected to shore power, the battery charger maintains the charge on the house

and engine batteries. When operating on the optional generator, the on-board battery charger must be on to

maintain charge on the house battery. The generator charging system does not generate enough current to keep

up with the electrical demand on the house battery.

The wires that supply DC charging current to the batteries are protected by an internal fuse in the battery

charger and three circuit breakers, one for each battery bank output wire. The breakers protect the DC charging

circuit from the batteries to the charger. They are located on the 24-Hour Essential Breaker panel located in

the battery switch enclosure. Push to reset the breakers. The internal fuses in the charger protect the DC

charging circuit from the charger to the batteries.

Water Heater

Supplies electrical current directly to the water heater circuit. The water temperature is automatically

controlled by a thermostat in the water heater control panel. Before operation, you must have water in the

water heater (see the water heater manual for more information).

Stove

Supplies electrical current directly to the galley stove. See the stove manual for more information.

Spare

For future use.

4.5 Generator (Optional)

Your Pursuit may be equipped with an optional generator.

An owner operator's manual for the generator has been

supplied with this manual. Please refer to it for details on

the generator operation.
