Section H. Electrical System
Introduction
The electrical system consists primarily of two engine-driven alternators, two
starting batteries, one accessory battery, and control devices and indicators.
H.1.
Alternators
Two alternators provide the charging power for the boats’ batteries. Each
alternator is rated at 12 VDC, 60 amps at 2300 RPM, and can produce 48
amps of power at an engine speed of 1000 RPM. Each alternator is belt-
driven and mounted on the outboard engine driveshaft. An indicator light,
located on the engine switch key panel, will illuminate if the charging system
is faulty. Each engine has a voltmeter (Figure 3-52) on the OHIP to indicate
alternator output.
