OS 385
helm air is mounted on the panel adjacent to
the breaker. This breaker will trip if sea water
is not being supplied to the air conditioning
unit. If this breaker trips, reset and check for
water flow out of the air conditioning thru-
hull. Refer to the air conditioner owner’s
manual for additional information.
Cockpit Coolers
Supplies electrical current to the refrigera-
tion unit for the starboard cockpit cooler and
aft cockpit cooler. Individual thermostats are
mounted on the panel adjacent to the
breaker. This breaker will trip if sea water is
not being supplied to the refrigeration unit. If
this breaker trips, reset and check for water
flow out of the thru-hull. Refer to the refrig-
eration owner’s manual for additional infor-
mation.
Cooling Pump
This breaker MUST be turned on before
operating the air conditioners or cockpit
coolers.
House Charger
The house 40 amp battery charger charges
the house, electronics and bow thruster bat-
teries. This breaker should ALWAYS be on
whenever the boat is occupied and either
the shore power or generator is operating. It
is automatic and is equipped with an amme-
ter to monitor charging. See the battery
charger manual for more information.
Engine Charger
The engine 20 amp battery charger main-
tains the charge on the engine batteries. It
is automatic and is equipped with an amme-
ter to monitor charging. See the battery
charger manual for more information.
Spare
Spare 2 pole breakers are provided for
future use. Confirm that the breaker is sized
appropriately for the load.
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 oper-
ation, you must have water in the water
heater (see the water heater manual for
more information).
Cockpit Grill
Supplies electrical current to the cockpit grill.
This breaker should ONLY be on when the
grill is being used. See the grill manual for
more information.
Stove
Supplies electrical current directly to the gal-
ley stove. See the stove manual for more
information.
120 Volt Circuits (Domestic Only)
Microwave
Supplies AC current directly to the micro-
wave oven. See the microwave manual for
more information.
Galley, Head and Cabin Outlets
Supplies electrical current to the cabin elec-
trical outlets. AC electrical outlets are pro-
vided with ground fault interrupters (GFI) 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 the 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 exposure 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 equip-
ment.
