3070 CENTER CONSOLE
Outlets
Supply electrical current to the cabin ground fault interrupter (GFI) electrical outlets.
Note: All AC electrical outlets are provided with ground fault interrupters 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 RE-
DUCING EXPOSURE TIME FROM LINE TO GROUND SHOCK HAZARDS, IT IS
STILL POSSIBLE TO RECEIVE AN ELECTRIC SHOCK FROM DEFECTIVE APPLI-
ANCES OR POWER TOOLS AND MISUSED ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.
Accessory
Reserved for additional AC equipment.

12-Volt DC 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 or silicone grease. 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.
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.
Check the electrolyte level in the batteries regularly and add distilled water as necessary. If the
batteries are frequently charged by the automatic battery charger, the electrolyte level will have
to be checked more often. The correct fluid level in the cells is usually approximately 1/4 to 1/
2 inch above the plates. If fluid is needed, fill to the proper level with distilled water. Do not
over fill! Please note that some batteries are sealed and cannot be filled.
