12-Volt DC System
Batteries
The batteries supply electricity for lights, 12-volt accessories, and engine and generator starting.
The Electrical section of Chapter 8, in the Cruiser & Yacht Owner’s Manual, provides battery care and
maintenance instructions.
Battery Switches
• Each battery switch has four (4) positions.
• The normal settings are:
Engine battery switch - position "2".
House battery switch - position "1".
• Some "Standby Loads", such as the automatic
bilge pumps, and the stereo memory, are not
affected by the battery switches since they are
wired directly to the battery (see the Wiring
Diagrams in this Supplement for more details).
• Turn the battery switches to the Off position
whenever the boat will be unoccupied for long
periods of time.
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
When the engines are running, NEVER turn Off the battery switch or disconnect the
battery cables. Doing either could cause damage to your boat’s engines and/or electri-
cal system components.
CAUTION
!
Make sure your selling dealer fully explains how to use the battery switches.
