2470 CENTER CONSOLE
Trim Tab Switch
Located in the helm. This switch controls the trim tab planes located on the transom of the boat.
It is protected by a breaker located behind the helm at the back of the accessory switch. Please
refer to chapter 2 for detailed information on the operation of the trim tab controls.
Windlass Switch (Optional)
Located in the helm. This switch controls the optional windlass which is mounted to the deck
directly above the rope locker. It is protected by a circuit breaker of the type and rating
recommended by the windlass manufacturer.
Windlass Breaker
The windlass breaker is located on the helm next to the windlass switch. Raise the lever on the
breaker to activate the windlass control switch and push the red button to return the breaker to
“OFF” whenever the windlass is not in use. This breaker is provided to protect the windlass
electrical circuit and reduce the possibility of accidentally activating the windlass.
4.5 Electrical System Maintenance
D.C. Electrical System Maintenance
At least once a year, spray all exposed electrical components behind the helm and in the plugs,
with a protector. Exterior light fixture bulbs should be removed and the metal contact areas
coated with a non-water soluble lubricant like petroleum jelly. The sockets should be sprayed
with a protector. Care must be taken not to get any oil or petroleum jelly on the glass portion of
the bulbs as this will cause the bulb to overheat and burn out.
WHEN REPLACING LIGHT BULBS IN MARINE LIGHT FIXTURES, ALWAYS USE
A BULB WITH THE SAME RATING AS THE ORIGINAL. USING A DIFFERENT
BULB COULD CAUSE THE FIXTURE TO OVERHEAT AND MELT OR SHORT CIR-
CUIT.
Inspect all wiring for proper support, sound insulation, and tight terminals, paying particular
attention to portable appliance cords and plugs.
Check all below deck wiring to be sure it is properly supported, that the insulation is sound, and
that there are no loose or corroded terminals. Corroded terminals should be thoroughly cleaned
with sandpaper, or replaced, tightened securely and sprayed with a metal and electrical protector.
Inspect all engine wiring.
