BATTERY SWITCHES

There are two battery switches to manage the 12-volt power distribution. One battery switch controls the two

engine batteries. The other battery switch controls the house battery. The port and starboard batteries can

be paralleled by switching to "combine batteries." It is not possible to parallel the engine batteries with the

house battery.

Make sure the engine and house battery switches are in the "ON" position whenever the engines are 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, stereo memory and high water bilge alarm when the batteries are

connected and the battery switches are off.

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

TERY SWITCH IN THE "COMBINE BATTERIES" POSITION.

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

section of this chapter.
